anti-bitch Posted November 13 Posted November 13 (edited) After the election, lots of people are trying to find an alternative to Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, and it looks like many are moving to Bluesky. It's #1 on the App Store right now. https://appfigures.com/top-apps/ios-app-store/united-states/iphone/top-overall If you want to preview what Bluesky is like, here's the website. https://bsky.app Bluesky was created by the former CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, but he's no longer a part of its board. The site is owned by Jay Graber and Jeremie Miller. It's apparently safer for LGBTQ+ people, too. https://www.advocate.com/business/bluesky-lgbtq-twitter-alternative But so far it hasn't had that many users. Let's see if this becomes a bigger trend.

JBJT2786 Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Funny thing is...this in the end what Elon wanted...Twitter dead. And now that he's in Trumps cabinet, I doubt he's gonna care about it anymore. Funny thing #2, people flocking to the app of the former owner of Twitter... 8 1
Reginald Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Now that fElon has bought the election, the country, and the world, people will finally leave Twitter I hate him so much. 8 1 1
Princess Aurora Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Follow me on Bluesky. It also has a butterfly as a logo https://bsky.app/profile/barbie93456.bsky.social 1
Musicmajor Posted November 13 Posted November 13 I joined a few days ago and it's definitely more peaceful. I fear when all the lunatics join, that'll change. It's giving early Tumblr vibes right now.
Gelato Posted November 13 Posted November 13 I want to leave Twitter but from scrolling through Bluesky it looks like the home of middle aged centrist liberals 2

I feel like the plan was always to turn it into a far right disinformation machine cause Truth Social, etc had no chance of ever taking off. Trump doesn't even like Elon and yet he managed to infiltrate the government because of how valuable he is as a donor and propagandist
Trent W Posted November 13 Posted November 13 I've read this headline at least 6 times since 2022 X has an irreplaceable niches, the only people leaving are liberals who are too focused in the elections All the other niches won't move, not even the stan world Threads was the biggest shot to destroy Twitter and it failed big time 4 3

But needing a whole new app? Nah 6

But needing a whole new app? Nah Threads is just an extension of instagram, is the same people posting the same pictures There is no political, social or even entertainment discussion in a large scale

dumbsparce Posted November 13 Posted November 13 What a weird name for a social media app. It's giving aviation
Bloodflowers. Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Is there a large Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch stanbase community on Bluesky? If so, I might join 2
Trash Posted November 13 Posted November 13 I kinda dislike that they autogenerate a longer username with the .blue.sky stuff 1
JonginBey Posted November 13 Posted November 13 I've had an account since last year but haven't used it yet I kinda wish it still required an invitation to join because the last thing it needs is the MAGAts and bots joining.

Komet Posted November 13 Posted November 13 1 hour ago, Trash said: I kinda dislike that they autogenerate a longer username with the .blue.sky stuff You can change that! But the reason is that every user profile is basically a separate web page; that's kinda the while point of Bsky being decetralized. Here's a more detailed explanation: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3l6xwi52zti2y 1 1
Venice B Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Stopped using twitter a few months ago and as much as I'd like to try Bluesky my life has been more peaceful without it so I think I might pass. My goal is to stop using any social media eventually. 6
Scandalous Posted November 13 Posted November 13 i think it's gonna go the way of Threads lmao, not enough people are actually interested in leaving X to make it fun
