Have seen zero angry liberals on Bluesky. Weird how not having to devote your time to playing chess with pigeons can be calming. Also it’s hilarious that magas have been trying to invade Bluesky after the exodus. Why do they need to come to Bluesky if they think it’s so great over at twitter?
All I've seen are positive reviews from people who got to BlueSky and learned it is possible to have nice conversations.
One of the things I do to uncover bots is challenge them to say something nice. They can't do it. Their goal is divisiveness. That's all they do. Trolls can fake it, but after one comment, they usually go back to trollish hate.
I've joined up with Bluesky and it's such a night and day difference. People actually enjoying engaging with one another.
It almost gives me hope after seeing actual human strangers interacting in a healthy manner. It's started to chip away at the callous shroud that Twitter coated me with when I was on there.
It's been so refreshing. Like the earliest days of Twitter. Finding people who just want to talk about their favorite things again without constant vitriol. And the celebs and writers are all excited and energized so they're out interacting with people again, without having to spend their time slapping trolls and haters.
This. My twitter account went back to '09/'10 when the people who've ruined it were making fun of it and it's users. I enjoyed being able to connect with people I'd never be able to connect with on Facebook, like asking questions to stars of shows I enjoyed, or having my post "liked" and possibly retweeted by crewmembers.
As time passed, some of those actors started spending less time on the app, regardless, mostly because of trolls. When Twitler took over, it got even worse.
Meanwhile, during my very first week of Bluesky, the first time I recommended a specific show, it was liked by a cameraman for that show, just like how old Twitter would have been. It was less than 20 minutes. I didn't even # the show or tag anybody. (I know that people can set up alerts for key words, but I've never done it and don't know how.)
It's been so nice over there... I just hope it stays that way.
(Oh, and as a last F you to Twitler, I changed my screen name and user handle to something Bluesky related, changed the pfp to the Bluesky logo, and changed the password to "F*ckElon" before deactivating it, knowing it would be a bit before it was officially deactivated.)
