Bluesky (4 Viewers)

I've basically stopped using Twitter and use Bluesky instead, I didn't do it for my political beliefs. I don't use it a great deal but when I'm on the throne, I want to waste some time, scrolling through without being bombarded with hate. Arguing for the sake of arguing (I can get enough of that on here), trying to get a reaction to drive engagement & bots. It's just spiteful and full of hate on Twitter.

I haven't been on for long but I've barely noticed any politics. I don't want it, that includes 'my side', I don't want to hear the state the country is in, how bad the Tories are, how bad Trump is, how Israel are blood thirsty genocidal c*nts.

Leave me alone, I just want to take a shit in peace, interacting with posts about Football, TV & Film, Music, Jokes, etc, etc. It's quiet but so far its been a better experience.

Just dont wipe with the wrong hand

Perhaps I could start a new currency 'TitCoin' which you can only use to pay for porn.

On topic i like the theory of BlueSky, but when I went over it seemed so… insipid I guess is the word. Twitter is a shit hole, but sometimes shit holes are the most interesting place. If BlueSky can avoid being the Truth Social of the left is probably move over but I value reading diverse views.

Sounds good in theory. I didn't leave Twitter because of "diverse" views. There's diverse and there's extreme. Twitter is overflowing with extreme views, whether that is racism, misogyny, hate speech, etc. I don't want to see/read that stuff.

I wouldn’t say a Neo-Nazi is a decent person, would you?

Unless I knew the person, and understood their reason for their opinions, I can't answer that.

He can't answer whether Hitler was a decent person, as he never met him.

Well, what a surprise.

I joined BlueSky over a year ago when you still needed an invite code, but never really used it that often. Deleted my Twitter account the morning after the US election. I said on another thread that Twitter will become the propaganda arm of the Trump Administration. I'm not having any of that. It's a cesspit of right wing nutters, bots and ads. BlueSky is a breath of fresh air. @torchomatic.bsky.social

In another development The Guardian have this morning announced they are no longer using Twitter. Hopefully more serious news organisations will do the same.

Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts

Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian
