@InternetHippo
Two straight years of shrieking "Get off twitter if you hate it so much" only to do this. Entire identities rooted in nothing but bothering people

@Nljigakulive
Because their entire lives revolve around culture wars. If there’s no other side how else can they do their grift



3/90
@tippitytoptweet
anything and everything to continue the grift

@tripp3990
I’ve always said this! It’s like they only exist just to attack people. They all are miserable and have mental health issues

@Disgrusting
Interesting how when people who don’t agree with you notice you, it bothers you. Almost like you’re up to something you know they won’t like.

@enqikoi
Wonder which group of people who always shove it down to their own throat

@crazy_stephen_i
They think the country is entertainment for them, and look for “desperate housewives” style candidates to go on the show and give them “viral meltdown” reactions to then post about on social media.

Wish I was joking or exaggerating, but there are people that actually make big money off of this being true for MAGA.



9/90
@Tops_opinion
That's because conservatives care more about trying to own the libs than actual policy and making progress as a nation.

@LunaLuxCosplay
It’s like an abusive relationship you’re trying to get away from but they just keep fukking following you.

I typically don’t like using that example but it’s actually so accurate here that I don’t know what else to say. People left to stop getting abused by a$$holes and the a$$holes followed them. Wild.



14/90
@CDay152
If you want to leave. Leave. If you make a dramatic exit you will be mocked (wow there’s a shocker). I have a feeling that some will jump back and forth cause they like dunking as much as everyone else does.

@IXVegas
Yes, we like to poke and laugh at retards. The fact you expected us to stop if you fukk off to a left wing Gab so you can cry about Cybertrucks is way too funny for us not to mock you for it.



17/90
@MattiSipon97065
It is funny! They aren’t btw telling to F off. They are saying if it is so bad here, than F off. A prescription to description difference.

I am glad we have. Our blue sky zoo

It turns out maybe paying people for engagement just rewards rage farming and trolls like this

It’s a good thing someone built a real social media site that learned

and then they bytch that nobody wants to be their friend and that some of their family members don't like seeing them

@DanDeBrak
It’s the same reason winning the election didn’t make them any happier. It’s not enough for them to have won, they have to see the people they hate suffer.

An ideology that spent so much time boosting grifters that the entire ideology evolved solely into grifting
The American Dream still lives on for the right, so long as you can grift hard enough

@cptbeebi
Remember how they were bragging about Gab, Parler, and Truth Social being their bastions against the woke?

They must just be very jealous that their Twitter alternatives were 1.) Hacked, 2.) Had all the DMs and images leaked, and 3.) Completely unusable and probably a scam.

Twitter is like your job at a Pizza Hut, bluesky is like attending the community feedback and public comment phase when they're building a new fire station.

It won't work over there either because of how the lists work. There's already one that lets you mute/block every maga account and not have to worry about their nonsense instead of playing whack-a-mole

This is the second time I've posted this video in a week because more and more I'm finding how aptly it represents the conservative mindset: To be irresistibly drawn towards the thing you allegedly despise.

They don't know what else to do in life.

In the end, they're so depressed their only entertainment is to ridicule others.

It's basic bully behavior, like the kid bullying the "nerds" in class. Surprise: his parents just divorced and he bullied other children to cover up sadness



74/90
@hensnbitties
Now they are flooding BS with CSAM & really offensive posts. Ppl are reporting them & they are using that reporting as a way to bash us for "ruining" & being intolerant by reporting each other. Of course they don't mention it is MAGA that's posting the 💩& backing up the system

None of them are even checkmarked either so they're not even making money from whatever engagement they get, if they're even getting that much. Bothering people for the love of the game

I don't have Twitter and I know Twitter is forever with generation X,Y, and Z.


Also if you jump ship, what's to say Elon doesn't buy bluesky.
:yeshrug:

a.i generated:

Bluesky's decentralized structure indeed makes things more complex. Unlike traditional platforms controlled by a single entity, Bluesky operates on a federated network of independent servers, giving users greater control over their data and content. This means that any acquisition or major change would require the cooperation of multiple independent server hosts, making it a more complicated process.

Mass User Revolt Scenario​

Imagine a scenario where Elon Musk attempts to acquire Bluesky. Given Bluesky's emphasis on user autonomy and community-driven moderation, a significant portion of its user base might strongly oppose such a move. Here's how it could unfold:

  1. Initial Announcement: News breaks out that Elon Musk is planning to acquire Bluesky. Users, already wary of centralized control, start expressing their concerns on Bluesky itself and other social media platforms.
  2. Organizing Resistance: Influential users and community leaders on Bluesky start organizing a mass revolt. They create hashtags, share information on how to protect their data, and encourage others to join the resistance.
  3. Data Transfer: In response to the revolt, many users begin transferring their data to other decentralized platforms or even setting up their own independent servers. This decentralized nature makes it difficult for Musk to gain control over the platform's data and user base.
  4. Public Pressure: The revolt gains media attention, putting public pressure on Musk to reconsider the acquisition. Users from other platforms also show solidarity, further amplifying the resistance.
  5. Outcome: Faced with widespread opposition and the technical challenges of acquiring a decentralized platform, Musk might decide to abandon the acquisition attempt. Bluesky continues to operate independently, with its user base more united and vigilant than ever.
This scenario highlights the unique challenges and strengths of decentralized platforms like Bluesky.




Moving your Bluesky username and profile to another Bluesky instance is relatively straightforward due to the platform's decentralized nature. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Create an Account on the New Instance: Sign up for an account on the Bluesky instance you want to move to. You'll need to provide your username and other necessary details.
  2. Transfer Your Data: Bluesky allows you to export and import your data, including your profile information, posts, and followers. Use the export feature on your current instance to gather your data, and then import it into your new account.
  3. Update Your Handle: If you want to keep the same username, you can update your handle to reflect the new instance. Note that your old handle will become available for others to use.
  4. Notify Your Followers: Inform your followers about the move so they can follow you on the new instance. You can post a message on both instances to make the transition smoother.
  5. Verify Your New Account: Ensure that all your data has been successfully transferred and that your new account is fully functional.
By following these steps, you can seamlessly move your Bluesky username and profile to another instance while maintaining your online presence.

They not taking that Kamala loss well. This app will fail like the rest off the knock off twitters created when they realize their post not getting enough attention/engagement
Nah I’d gladly pay $5-10 a month for blue sky. I never would for twitter.

I’m sure most users would too.

Over on Bluesky I have less than 3% of the followers that I have here, but already way more engagement. That wasn't the case a year ago.

A little scientific test. 🧪

Same post, posted at same time.

Left: Engagement on X after 10mins

Right: Engagement on Bluesky after 10mins

Result: Bluesky getting far more engagement already.

Struck by how vastly better Bluesky is for engagement over X. This is today's column. Blueksy numbers far higher, despite 7x more followers on X. Forget all this "liberal silo" balls. For publicising work it's just a better place to be.

I AM DEFINITELY LEAVING TWITTER SOON.
ENGAGEMENT WITH 100 FOLLOWERS ON BSKY
VS 740 ON TWITTER.

IM 100% SURE ANY MENTION OF WEBSITE OR PRODUCTS GETS BURIED BY ALGOS HERE ON TWITTER. NOT A SINGLE LIKE.

IT WILL BE EASIER FOR ME TO BUILD ON BLUESKY WITH 100 FOLLOWERS 100%

If you see me on Blusky, it’s currently not me. Someone took my handle and is trying to shake me down for money to get it back. I’m working on it.

Ohhh Ande! Thank you. What a doll you are! 💛 Don’t you think we need to focus on The Six more than ever now? Use common sense to get our country back to basics!

That would be great. I hope to get it back, but for now, that is NOT me.

No. People are screwing with me.

So now we have a republican site and a democratic site literally named bluesky?

Wtf is wrong with us.

We have an Elon run website that is all about hatred and another website that is not all about that. If enough people leave Twitter including ads and major corporations eventually Elon could be out billions. Still doesn't bankrupt him, but would be fun to watch him lose his money over Trump.

Im with all that and I get it. I'm stating the fact that we are so divided we now need separate mainstream social media? Lol

Im not on any of it tbh and the only interaction I have with Randoms is on here but my greater point is we as Americans are idiots. We used to be able to tolerate and hear different opinions and still work with them, live next to them, etc....now we figuring out ways to NEVER interact with others that don't think like us. Total mind fukk brehs...
