Mister Blue Sky, blue sky, blue sky

Elon is shook by Bluesky. Used to only get notifications on my company's account on Tw/X when someone with a big following would comment or Like. The last few days, I'm getting almost every one on the company account. It's like, "HEY, ENGAGE WITH US. PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE."

 

Bluesky is supposed to have picked up about ten million accounts since the election. I'm busy trying to move my twitter follows over as I can find them.

Anyone know how to bring Bluesky posts over here and have them show up?

 

To paraphrase Lyndon B. Johnson talking about Cronkite and Viet Nam.... When twitter has lost @Neutral Corner .....

 

They would have to do some programming to make it show up as media (we still don’t have TikTok for example) and I’m guessing this place is too much of a money sink to bother. Screenshots are my workaround.

 

Can't help you with posting them here... but to find your Twitter follows, there's a browser add-on called Sky Follower Bridge that will show you the Bluesky handle of your Twitter follows.

 

Oh, I'm still there and monitoring... but Bluesky is an altogether more pleasant experience.

"My favorite thing about bluesky is we can disagree about stuff like Garland, but no one is a huge asshole about it. Everyone is super-nice and people make genuine points and ask legit questions. Thanks for that!!"

"I especially like that I'm not shadow-banned here. I can now post an original and people actually see it & respond."

"I've seen plenty of assholes already, but that's not why I migrated here. The irrelevant ads that I kept saying I'm not interested in kept appearing, and the sex bots follows every day, and the amplifying of voices that have obvious ill intent, that and other reasons is why I left that other place."

 

Thanks so much. I have a ton of them, obv.

 

Never had a twitter or instagram account because I’d always used Facebook. I deleted that account this summer and haven’t looked back.

 

I still have Fecesbook, mostly because there are a ton of the people who fought to bring UAB football back still in a group there. I don't check it much though.

 

That netted me a quick 80 follows. Thanks, PCL.

OTOH, I've already found a half a dozen people I follow that it did not pick up for some reason, some significant, like Emptywheel, David Corn, Joyce Vance..

 

Glad it helped! Yeah, it doesn’t catch all of them and it makes an occasional bad match, but it’s a lot easier that doing it all on your own.

 

Wait, there are SEX BOTS!??!!
