Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X. - eviltoast
  • I joined bluesky a year ago to check it out. There wasn’t much happening on it at the time, so I got bored of it real quick. It was like the original version of Twitter. The day after the election, I got on X to see what kind of shit show was going on there, but my account was permanently suspended. I was just on there the day before the election with no problem. I rarely posted anything on it, but I have made some left leaning posts in the past. Like, 2 years in the past. Kinda weird to suspend my account right after the election. Whatever, I was never a big X user. So, I opened bluesky to see if it improved at all, and holy shit, it’s bopping. It’s still like old Twitter. It’s open source, no ads at all, and they make it really convenient to find accounts to follow with “starter packs”. I gotta say, I love it. There are almost no fake accounts or bots. They get weeded out pretty quick. That’s become my new Twitter, and Lemmy is my Reddit.

      So you follow people you don’t know, instead of people you do know? I don’t really understand what your story has to do with my comment, I’m sorry.

          That’s fine. It skips the entire question of why use any of them in the first place though.

              “omg” yeah. You said you use it because it’s like old Twitter. That means nothing when I was asking why would you use Twitter.

                    I was just wondering since you have made such a huge deal about a comment I made that really doesn’t effect your life really at all or even matter in the slightest. Seems like wasted energy. But for some reason, you just keep digging in like you are trying to make some kind of point that also doesn’t matter in the slightest. The fact that me sharing my opinion has caused you to get so offended that you won’t drop it tells me that you migrated here from Reddit since this is how a lot of Redditors behave when someone replies to their comment. But, again, it doesn’t matter and it is a waste of my energy to continue engaging with you over nonsense. I have better things to do. If you want to argue over nothing, go back to Reddit. They will embrace you with open arms.

                    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
