Since the election, Twitter is feeling sort of empty, and Bluesky has picked up massively.

JPhillips · 11-12-2024, 09:42 AM

I moved to Bluesky and other than sports it's fine. I can always go back to twitter on game days, but I'm mostly done there. I just can't handle the volume of straight up nazis or nazi bots there.

I am loving Bluesky. Most of my Wherl of Time fandom friends ate there now. Some of the law nerds are pretty active there. The sports scene is still light, but I am hopeful that will come. I saw a reporter saying that Bluesky is a much better alternative than Threads because of the level of censorship (blocking certain words and phrases, much like Tik Tok) makes posting there a challenge. Without the algorithm pushing rage bait on you all the time, social media can be pleasant.

I've seen some people posting data showing they actually get way more engagement on bluesky even with lower follower counts than Twitter.

I also saw some anecdotal postings from people that they started seeing their first Kamala tweets after the election after seeing zero in the run up to eelection day.

The only thing I don't like about Bluesky is that you can't embed post from there here.

I just deactivated my Twitter. Thought about posting a final tweet, but really no one on there cares.

Not sure where to put this, but apparently the FBI raided the home of the Polymarket CEO.

It's a social media platform, not an airport.

There's no need to announce departures.

That's the exact comment I put on my Bluesky why I didn't. It really is good to let followers know if you are leaving and where you are going, though. I just didn't have enough followers or engagement over there to make it worth while. Meantime, I already have surpassed my follower count from there on Bluesky, and pretty much every post has good engagement. Such a better experience.

The Onion bought Info Wars at auction.

"Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened."

Not The Onion?

Does that phrase work here?
