BlueSky collecting the twitter users leaving en-masse

[UltraChad]

Ah, he’s one of Them.

The ones who think they own the place.

That Rob guy is fond of making it sound like he decides who can be here.

One of his boytoy accounts maybe.

They’re psychos lol

Authoritarian control freaks ..... it leaks through into every aspect of their being.

 

[ll74]

Who is "they"??

What account??

They = bluesky

Account = your account

 

[AceDesSpades]

Trü dat Lance.

 

[Anon_shy]

Fed up with twitter and musk? Join Bluesky like the millions quitting twitter

What is Bluesky Social? Why people are going to this Twitter alternative

Bluesky crosses the 15 million user mark

Shhhh , it's nice over at bluesky without all the X crap! I joined when there was less than 60000 people, so nice and peaceful!

But seriously, it's so much better than other platforms so far, can be as involved or as simple as you choose without stuff being forced down your throat. Not that I mind certain things in my throat haha!

I'll be happy if they can successfully filter out all the bots. All Twitter is now is comment sections full of dumb bots with comments like "Great article!"

I know i”m old…out of step with you hipsters, but in all seriousness…

What’s the appeal of the Twatter and this new blue sky? It seems like there is no discourse, just a post then upvotes and hive minded nodding in unison.

I joined the Twat way back in the ‘00’s to win a new golf club off the Golf Channel in some promotion they were pushing in conjunction with Taylor Made. I remember hating the forum, couldn’t figure out all the ins and outs and never went back after I didn’t win the prize.

it's amusing to see the usual right-wing Twitter trolls migrate to Bluesky. They have an incessant need to make every discussion a battle, and Bluesky's decentralized, non-algorithmic core prevents them from doing what they say they do best: Stiggin' it to teh Libz.

Users share blocklists and as fast as a MAGA moron can gin up a new userid, they end up on one or two of the really big blocklists and they never last longer than five minutes before earning their ticket to the Neverseen Express.

Another one million users added to Bluesky over the weekend. As one wag noted....at the current rate of growth they will have more users than Twitter by next August.

MAGA is calling this migration a "retreat".
The rest of us call this migration a "reset".

 

[butters]

currently, the growth rate is 1M+ per day

not everyone leaving x is moving to Bluesky: some are choosing Threads and others Mastadon, but Bluesky is seeing the biggest consistent growth. Threads was already larger than Bluesky but it has the same kind of serious problems x has, imo.

Threads tried to position their brand as "non-political" (throttling political stuff), as opposed to Musk's Urban Hellscape where the algorithm fed you daily right-wing outrage.

Bluesky represents a middle ground where you basically pick the sort of stuff you want to see, and aggressively roots out trolls and pornbots. It seems to be the sweet spot now on social media.

I like the idea of having all the news and sports media providers in one feed that I can easily scroll for the latest stories. In the beginning I never posted. I just read the headlines and clicked on stories I wanted to read. I ignored all the comments. But as the comments became more and more Nazi, I couldn't help insulting Nazis because I hate Nazis. It was one of those guilty pleasures. But eventually it became clear a lot of the Nazis were just bots giving the impression that there were more Nazis than actual decent people.

Hopefully its so cozy there the twats stay.

Lol

Democrats need a platform where they can console each other. BS seems to be a safe space for them to flock to.

What a FITTING moniker

Funny thing is its named after jack dorsey’s hand-picked chinese puppet ceo.

Her first name means blue sky in mandarin.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Why did they stay on Twatter in the first place ?

I guess they still like it.

 

[ll74]

Why did they stay on Twatter in the first place ?

They wanted to?

I have no interest in an anti-free speech, open borders, anti-USA, race-socialist echo chamber.

Nothing I've mentioned has any relevance to your interest.

Sure. Nice rando statement.

 

[dmallord]

Reminds me a little of Dryerlint.

Is she a new vocal artist or just a MAGA wannabe artist?
The name sounds familiar...

 

[dmallord]

Trump isn't an ultra-progressive Democrat.

Though the felon is getting progressively worse than before the fear and fair election.

Worse how??

Worse how??

Have you had a peek behind his 'cabinet' doors lately? Tell me it isn't filled with loons and accused sexual predators. That doesn't bother you, though? That's kind of worse...
