Twitter/X alternative Bluesky

Bluesky is taking off bigly. Added 600k people today. A true mass exodus also taking fire on X from what I hear now that there is a true alternative. As they leave X will become truly a chit show.

Make that over 1M people today!

 
Just followed ya.


I just created an account a couple days ago. Surprised at the amount of Hawkeye fans on there. Nowhere near the traffic/activity as Twitter, but also none of the bullshit. Fairly certain I'll be deactivating the ol Twitter account soon.
Since I have the podcast and Twitter still drives most of my traffic, I won’t be ending over there, but no doubt the interactions on BlueSky are better. I’ve probably picked up 50+ followers in the last 36 hours, so hopefully the migration continues.
 
So I've never used Twitter to post and have never used it to scroll through content. I used to use it for public transit updates and such. But mostly I've had an account to be able read things that get embedded here and in news stories.

I've downloaded Bluesky. How do you recommend using it? Find some channels and start the scrolling?

I'm not sure I need another online conversation outside of HORT.
 
It just doesn't have enough stupid conspiracy videos for you to fall for.
Being a Democrat these days is all about conspiracies. Except they call it Russia, fascism, authoritarianism, etc. If you think these assertions aren't conspiracy theories in their own way you're not thinking critically about it. Being in a hive mind, circle jerk environment does not educate oneself.

Select topics you like and look for stater packs: for example the aforementioned Hawkeye starter pack. Basically a link to a bunch of Hawkeye fans you can follow at one click and they will follow you back. Look for others. Week in I am already up to 1/3 my Twitter followers made over 7 years (not a lot so low bar). And none of them are bot followers. I searched for FSU starter pack and found one.
 
Dont forget crypto bros.. aka dudes that have never pleasured a woman.

Don't worry

Elno will make them sex-bots that will cry, tell them they are huge, and say they "don't want it"....

Still not embedding on Rivals/HORT



Another day at Bluesky, and it looks like growth is not slowing down! Welcome!

We’d like to take a moment to share our stance on AI and user data:
 
How does one get added to that Hawkeye starter pack? I just signed up. Following the starter pack makes it easy to fill the feed quickly.

I’ve been playing with Threads and BlueSky for a while and I post my podcast episodes there and interact a little. I like BlueSky, but I still get most of my reach and interaction on Twitter.
Maybe my demographic will start changing. Suddenly I’ve increased my followers like 6-fold in the last two days. It still needs to go up 6x to match my Twitter following, but when you factor out porn and political bots, it’s probably not nearly that pronounced. It’s definitely a more pleasant experience and more like the old bird days of Twitter.
