That’s changing. I’m seeing a bit of a snowball effect towards BlueSky and to a lesser extent Threads.

By snowball, I meant avalanche.  Bunch of writers and journalists are fleeing shitter. Not sure if they are doing it as a fuck you to Leon wanting their content for his AI or what.

I've lost almost 500 followers on X since the election. On the other hand, I've gained about 140 on Threads and 45-50 on Blue Sky, so it's not a total loss.

Our social media will become even more bifurcated, I'm thinking.

Threads is gaining a huge number of new followers every day. Zuckerburg indicated roughly one million per day in his conference call. Now up to 275 million.  I wish it would gain some of X's functionality.

 

Have you made your bluesky account username public info here? Also @atomheartbevo

Also for anyone at bluesky, if you're not aware of starter packs, they're basically a must know to build your account. If you want to get a lot of followers, find the admin of any list and ask them to add you. If you want to find people to follow, search the starter packs for users that others have recommended grouped under certain expertise and/or content. Starter pack subjects can be extremely micro. It's a feature that's a bit like what twitter had with "law twitter" or "immunology twitter" except more organized. 

There's over 5,000 starter packs https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all

Bluesky doesn't have a central algorithm, so you have to follow a lot more accounts to get an active timeline...like 600 +/- 100

It also has "feeds," and you can get added to those or just use them to find people to follow. Feeds can be pinned to your home page a bit like a bookmark within the bluesky site to switch what content you see.

Yep, I tripled my followers this morning with two starter packs, and it’s people I want following me, that I want to interact with.

I found some Ukrainian groups/starter packs that easily replace my Twitter stuff (mainly because it’s OSINT people moving to Twitter).

I really had not dived too deeply into BlueSky, but this week is off to a helluva start. I see that they’ve picked up over 650,000 new subscribers in the past two days, and it’s active enough to keep them.

Thanks so much for this. I've added about two hundred followers on Blue Sky in the last two days and I get the feeling that it's beginning to wake up.

Between the curated feeds and the starter packs, it’s really easy to transition over to BlueSky.

Yep. I've had accounts with both for a while. Threads has been a disappointment. I've always liked Blue Sky's more free-wheeling vibe, but there was just so little traffic for so long. Those starter packs are a real game-changer for getting ramped up and immediately finding lots of bespoke content.

Let's not disparage others on the spectrum by too much association here.  Sure, he's on the spectrum.  But his problem is that he's a giant fucking narcissist asshole.

I am not aware of consistent body size and shape characteristics associated with npd. ASD on the other hand is associated with obesity and certain body size/shape  presentations. I am not disparaging anyone with those comments, which are far more benign than the comments on this thread that pull on those strings.

i have my first.last twitter id that i've never used - i got it to make sure no one else could have it

never signed up for any other social at all none zero zip zilch nada

Log in once in a while - they've said at some point they are going to release inactive accounts back into the pool of unused handles.

It's why I'm not deleting my accounts, just my tweets, and moving future stuff over to Bluesy, although if enough people are doing it, he may get mad and take the handles of anybody who bails for Bluesky or Threads.
