Came to post my codes, no need!?

Is that all? That surprises me. Mastodon has over 8m and is still thought of as tiny.

Is it still a pain in the arse to use? Haven't looked at it for aaaaages.

I’m rarely there now to be honest. There’s only so much social media I can deal with.

Anyone know anything about Maven?

I've started using Brave as my main browser and it appeared in an article in their New Tab news feed thingy.

Bluesky just got better

Bluesky is incredibly quiet. As far as journalism and political commentary is concerned, Twitter/X is still where it's at.

 

[two sheds]

I wouldn't say 'incredibly quiet', UK Politics seems to have 20 posts within the last 2 hours which isn't bad for 6 a,m. Obviously nowhere near twitter but none of them are abusive and none look like they're written by far-right bots, and how many posts do you read before moving on?

While I've not deleted my Twitter account I no longer have the app and I'm only looking at it when someone on here posts a link to a thread.

I'm now checking BlueSky almost as much as I used to Twitter though - it's genuinely become a useful and engaging platform. You do have to put a bit of work in finding people to follow, but now it feels like Twitter without the stress.

 

[Hollis]

Yeah - seem to be alot of folk moving to bluesky since twitter has watered down the block feature.... Though more in some circles than others - seems lots of the academics & historians I follow moved a while back...

I assume it will be the gobshites with large followings who'll be the last to leave twitter..

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Are there any free, quick, reliable Tweet deleter things I can use to expunge my feed's content before I go all in on Bluesky?

 

[lazythursday]

I've only heard of paid for ones sadly. But I just pressed the button and completely deactivated my account.

I thought it got deleted after 30 days if you deactivate?

Blueskys exploded this last week, we'll see if it maintains itself but it does feel somewhat of a different atmosphere

I'm enjoying it so far

I'm enjoying it so far

Yeah, me too.

My only complaint is that I spend too long having to block american sports accounts which pollute my feed. Hopefully, the algorithm will be trained soon.

I've stayed on Twitter too long, cos it's where the non-league football news happens, and I think I was excusing myself by thinking Kamala Harris might win, and then it could be funny.

But I'm out now. Deleted the app a couple of days ago. Should have deleted my account, but that sounds complicated, and now I have no idea how to get back in.

I’m on Bluesky now. Steering clear of news and current affairs. Still learning, don’t know what lists do yet, and got a bit carried away and followed too many starter packs.

I’m @trevorchaplin.bsky.social if you want to say hi.

Just given you a follow. I'm @souljacker.bsky.social but I've not posted yet and I'm only following a few local Reading people at the moment.

I’ve followed you back.

 

[spitfire]

Followed both, have removed Twitter from my phone home screen, moving towards deleting completely now that nearly all the nice people have left.

[skyscraper101]

I've been mostly threads but jumped back into bluesky again. Both of them really need a trending topics section a la twitter.

 

[RoyReed]

I've been on BlueSky for over a year, but it's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've seen any sort of increase in traffic there. It is starting to look a bit better.

I’m so glad it was you: that would have baffled a civilian!

Well I didn't want to give away any usernames of this special place so avoided saying hi Danny and it's spitfire.

 

[Hollis]

It's turned into a complete exodus this week... Virtually everyone I follow is over there now.

 

[two sheds]

I've never been on twitter and still don't really know how to use Bluesky properly. I've got some feeds but tried and failed to follow a couple of thread type things.

I'm intending to work my way through

Followed you guys. Just arrived and liking it so far but have actually realised there really can be too many cat pics. Grey Malkin (@grizzelgreedigut.bsky.social)

 

[tony.c]

I crossed over last night, but so far it just seems to be pics of owls, cats and landscapes. How do you find the politics content?
