“This is something we have been considering for a while

I must have gotten on some sort of list, because I barely post but I went up by 150 followers in the last couple of days on Bluesky.

I'm don't follow many Twitter accounts but they're finally starting to move to Bluesky so I'm following them there. I've had a Bluesky account for a while but no one was posting!

It's all just ads and Nazis now. I have a small group of friends I've known for years there but we're all pretty much slowly making it to bluesky because the site really is dying. Thanks Elon for killing a lot of our childhoods I guess lol but yeah I can see most people leaving it. That election really was the final nail in the coffin.

"They are a laboriously vile propaganda machine.”

D'ya know, I think even a single electron of self-awareness would flat out kill Mollusc. He would drop to the ground stone dead from an immediate aneurysm.

I don't get why so many people are using this platform still

Self deprecating tweets really.

Many people use it for crowdfunding and mutual aid which they've been doing for years and having to start over is daunting. Plus, lots of Palestinians and Sudanese people post there too. I think the app is horrible but some people are in a hard place right now because of stuff like that. I hope Bluesky becomes more popular though.
