I think it's time for the big switch.
My twitter feed is vile at the moment.
Anyone else switching over? |  |

Long time bluesky user. It's so so much better - basically the algorithm doesn't prioritise engagement and it's control features are top tier. So it's really difficult to troll people, you don't really get stuff hate promoted into your feed, and there are some good lists available for like journos, footie stuff, etc that has migrated over |
Thanks Robith. Good to know. | |

As others mentioned, there's a chicken and egg problem with migrating to a new platform, if it isn't well populated it lacks appeal.
I have an account on Blue-sky from the invite that Robith of this parish kindly shared, but have rarely used it so far.
I'd definitely like to make a permanent move though. Maybe posters here could share their IDs, start a QPR presence?

I post on here but nowhere else, don't feel the need to be honest.
I started to read the appallingly bad Daily Mirror online a while back because It was so bad I found It funny In a silly way.
I gave In once and left a derogatory remark about the bloody Royal Family which was 'deactivated' by the DM, any way I used to get In disputes with the Royal Family fan boys on there, and my account was closed by the DM for three weeks.
Had to sign back In to leave comments after three weeks which I did but I've knocked that on the head now too.
Got to go now and pick the leaves up that have fell from me silver birch tree that have made a mess on me lawn.
Goodbye. |
Ted, just so you don't feel left out, I want you to know that I too have a silver birch tree  . |  |

I just followed the QPR Podcast account and got added. Alternatively, it says if you reply to the pinned post, they will add you to the list

Blue sky has these great starter packs people can make that you can follow to get a flavour without adding everyone individually
Here's all the football writers on there

Its not about that. Its about the owner buying the platform and then flooding it with extreme content from one end of the political spectrum. Its ruining what was once a great platform.
Fine if you like that content, by all means engage and enjoy, fill your boots. The rest of us don't need to have it forced upon us though. That is the problem. Whether you want it or not it has become unavoidable.
Most of us don't frequent these places seeking political arguments. | | | |

Yeah if you just focus on hobbies and things you like on Twitter, it's fairly easy to avoid all the politics nonsense. |  |

There is a lot of rubbish on Twitter and annoyingly more ads since Musk took over but it seems to have a stranglehold on this mode of communication. Mastodon, Threads and now Bluesky have all challenged Twitter and have, up until now, failed. I expect Bluesky to go the same way.
Reading this thread it seems that many people don’t use the ‘muted words’ facility on Twitter. Simply type in ‘Tommy Robinson’ ‘Diane Abbott’ ‘Meghan’ or whatever gets your blood pressure up and Bobs yer Auntie it never appears on your timeline.
Once you’ve sifted out the dross there are still some very interesting or educational content. Occasionally there’s some very good OSINT stuff around war zone which tends to reveal the actual truth regarding some aspects of combat. This is the sort of stuff you probably won’t see on MSM and if you do it’ll be 12 hours out of date. Twitter is the place to go for breaking news, I’m afraid it can’t be bettered for real time, on the ground witness testimony from members of the public.
ps. I also, thankfully, never get any porn on Twitter | | | |
