All the cool kids seem to be leaving Twitter now .... bypassing Threads and jumping straight into Bluesky.

There's a 'deck' to show all columns at once.

And themed 'starter packs' to 'Follow All' in a subject area.

I’ve been seeing more and more people saying that, even if they are not leaving twitter, they are using bsky more and more.

May the trend continue.

Twitter is toxic, now.

have been using Bluesky for a while now and it's like early days of Twitter, people are nice and I've had responses from a few celebrities.
Custom feeds are useful, though did have to block all the furry porn at the start though.

Not social media, but fits best in this thread >

Microsoft are at it now ...

I decided today to give up on twitter.

Everyone I follow is now on bsky.

It’s feels rather like taking a shower after a long, hot, day’s physical labour.

Apparently, from the latest John Oliver (I've not yet watched it) - for me, the first was already OFF, but I had to turn off the other 2.

BlueSky is far nicer (like Twitter of old old), though I do block with impunity to keep my feed clean.

Very illuminating interview with a FB insider...
