Bluesky goes into high gear as users flee X

It's amazing but the people on blue sky can actually form coherent sentences with good grammer.

Not just click bait with ridiculous shit looking for "engagement"!

Edit: BTW for anyone here who wants to stay in touch on bluesky just incase something happens to this forum:

As far as I can tell, no, there's a different company with a very similar name (Bluesky Digital Assets) but the Twitter-like site is not publicly traded based on what I looked up.

Yeah that's what I thought as well!

In a way I want it to stay private so we can avoid the Elon shit show again!

I thought BTCWF was their stock, but it might not be. Looks like that is some crypto company, which also explains their recent rise.

The same, but I don't get what the deal for either is.

Well if you're into a sports team.. it's better than subscribing to a bunch of places that want money for inside info.. you get fan accounts posting the same stuff.

Same things for politics but I try and avoid politics on it.

But I do tend to follow some science accounts.. maybe telescope accounts.. stuff that'll relax my mind etc.

It's better than reading the news page sometimes.. unless your team loses!
 
I signed up too.

Never had twitter so this is new to me.
I wonder if bluesky will have an influx of the magarats trying to discredit it.
Or even elmo for that matter.
 
Still a lot of businesses, journalists, government officials use X extensively. For practical purposes they may not want to leave or dont care about Musks antics or policies. And there are around 400 million X users so too early for BS to make much of an impact.
 
Every time I see the word Bluesky it just reminds me of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse because of that one episode where a character had 'Blue Skies' as a catchphrase.
 
There is a great divide and radicalization in Politics in every country. (Maybe except Japan) So what is happening in United States is/was already in discussion of Twitter being under the influence of Musk and/or Local Governments (by Trollfarms/Bots) so BlueSky has a potential of 60 - 80 Million users, whereas their departure of Twitter/X will make that forum less interactive and more of an echo chamber. So this movement is timely and has a chance to be permanent

Not sure if this isn't Mastodon all over again. There was huge hype, and then everything died out pretty quickly.

I think a good amount of people don't understand this.. we're not leaving X for something that's better.. we're leaving because we don't want right wing trolls. Yes it'll be lonely.. yes it'll have less engagement but that is better for us than constant right wing spam since we're not right wingers!
