Feels like you added the wrong starter packs then 😂

I know, it's hard but I'm following some really interesting folks over there who are mostly left/intellectual. As an Austrian that's still leftist I'm immune to that propaganda, believe me😅

It's way calmer and way less addictive. I think the X algo has gotten really good to the point I can be sucked into scrolling for hours at a time. It doesn't make me happy. Bluesky feels like the old Twitter - lots of cool chats with cool people and that's it. I avoid the main timeline though 🤷‍♂️

Every time I looked at my Twitter feed for the past couple months all I saw was rage bait and polarization. I can do without.

There does seem to be fewer interesting discussions here, but there is also far less fighting. Although I did recently get into a bit of a tiff here with someone who thinks shooting CEOs is justified... I simply cannot support Musk anymore (used to really like him), so this is my platform.

Every time I go back there, it's always the same few accounts getting all the attention, posting the same trash. The comments are always angry and rage bait-y. I don't need that. The only thing I miss a little is the shitposting. That was funny.

The available data that is open source is a reason to persevere for now. The good thing about slow uptake is that Bluesky will hold off on monetisation through adverts for now. I was thinking Bluesky might be the place for "1000 great followers“. Mastodon is still the best for quality content.

Not sure. Just going of what overlord Musk said that it was going to get cleaned up

Yeah. I just opened an X account and it is very impressive w/ Grok etc. I never used twitter back in the day but as a standalone app, X as a concept is really very good. If they clean up the content and add the payments as planned, it will be formidable.

If I ever find BSky boring, I'll just leave social networks for good. There's nothing beneficial to gain from Twitter or Meta's platforms anymore.

Enjoy Elon propaganda 🤣

Yes! The following tab is boring and the for you too random. That sums it up

If you ask me what I'll see in 5 months on Twitter, I'll ask you what are you building, do you drink coffee as a developer and do you do it on weekends

Yes, but it's inevitable here too, but the question is how much, how pushy people are. (I'm making excuses right now since I myself will advertise my course here :P I promise I'll be humble)

I only dipped my toes here, so can't talk about it, but yes, it feels way calmer than X Although, I enjoy it 🤔

There is definitely more interesting tech and startup convo on X than here 😒

We should invite Elon

to me, ultimately, choice of platform is about what one stands for

How long have you been building it?

but I those 28k how many are bots, dead, or will never see your posts? 😏

I'm trying to get more into books independent of which platform! Can say for sure that my unverified account there is definitely not getting into interesting convos but hey

Hey Eli, how are you! Yes I‘ve seen your ai conversations about books- interesting concept! I‘ve learned from you IMO that AI is a great way to organise thoughts!

This is not my case. I have much more interesting content on Bluesky than on X. The feeds contribute greatly to this, and the feeling of "calm" is rather for me to no longer have aggressive or uninteresting content.

I am still here and also on X because on both social media are people I like :)

Starter packs are neat, but they don’t really foster communication between users. Not to mention there’s serious issues with the latent “aren’t you glad this isn’t Twitter” attitude

I think Bluesky is still in its early stages. There’s a long way to go in terms of migration. I believe it’ll happen eventually. I’ve charted a plan to start using Bluesky to document my work and socialise it in other places. Hoping, actual influential people start doing the same

Fair summary!

Gee, this turned into a decent discussion with over 20 replies. What are you complaining about?! 😉
