Are you leaving X (Twitter) to join Bluesky?

Joshua J. Friedman (@joshuajfriedman.com)

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

They have starter packs where if you click on them there will be a list of recommended accounts to follow. It's like a playlist. If you search a topic you can find a starter pack. You can also request to be added to one that suits you if you want people to easily find you.

That just seems like a very smart and efficient engagement strategy that also builds community and gives people the opportunity to jump into something new.

Here's a starter pack with Black Economist

Belinda Archibong (@belindaarch.bsky.social)

Hey all, I created a starter pack with a list of Black economists and academics for an easily accessible list of folks doing research that we can all follow and cite #Blacksky #AddtoBlacksky #Econsky: go.bsky.app/RyKSzcb [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Just created an account and it feels like Twitter pre Elon which wasn't broken. There's been a big shift in people who cover the NBA and sports accounts coming over too. I think once the sports accounts jump on, a very large influx will happen.

Twitter will still be heavily used for porn. I can actually see the platform transitioning into a porn/4Chan rip off once there's a large migration to BlueSky.

I wasn't one of those people to complain about the Twitter porn but the amount of adult rated shit that pops up on your feed is kind of off putting. You can be scrolling and reading news/sports and then here comes some big ass tiddys or basically naked honeys in your feed. Videos of viloent shit is never spoilered or posted with warnings.

I was thinking the other day that I've seen a video of someone getting killed or seriously injured every day on Twitter for at least the last year. It's not that I'm seeking those videos out either. Some of that shit is from those fight accounts that seem heavily spammed now or it will just be some random shit showing people being violent.

Twitter doesn't have a separate section for adult rated or extremely violent shit so you have to get videos of people getting ran over by cars sprinkled in with news about the starting lineups for tonight's games.
