Recommendation Twitter Alternatives

[tommers]

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?

Who do you follow on twitter that does it? Just find them on bluesky. There's a chrome extension called follow sky or something that will find most of them for you, but I haven't used it before.

I'm a bit too disorganised with it but will sit down and sort it out at some point.

The worst thing about it is all the people trying to tell you how to use it. Fuck off I'm 52. Literally a grown up.

I quit Twitter years ago, toxic shithole that brought out the very worst in me. I only use FB for the stamp groups and the RAMC page.

Actually, after 15/11/2024 the RAMC no longer exists. The medical services have been amalgamated. Over 100 years gone at the stroke of a politician who never served's pen.

How do you find the politics content?

Sadly, the state of my MH right now means I haven't tried, and long may it remain so.

To follow politics follow a few journalists/commentators then look at who they are following...

There's also "starter packs" which some people post up which have lists of all the big cheeses in a particular area to follow.

I had the silly idea of posting only under my own name.. Anyway scrapped that except for the sanitised world of history... So now back to 3 different accounts. Need a separate one for transport/active travel as it can get so toxic I need to ring-fence it.

I follow UK Politics although I'm now not quite sure how I did it - that does seem to be all I see now though

I'm 71 and dreeeeam of finding people who'd tell me how to use it.
