It’s like twitter before they monetised being an arsehole.
I am on there too (and threads) but it’s a right PITA trying to reestablish your “follow” network. (Ie folks that I follow as opposed to anyone that might follow me).

Can’t find anyone interesting to follow on Bluesky.. no car magazines, no individuals from them, not even sky news on there yet. Any recommendations?
Cheers,

Ian

I've just been in and deleted my Twitter account. I never posted on there but I followed a few people and sticking to the "following" tab kept it fairly streamlined. But enough's enough. I'm distancing myself from it now.

I’ve not cancelled twitter yet, I still go there for news. As others have said, the big accounts and news sites aren’t set up in bluesky yet but on a community level it’s so nice to converse without anons who’ve paid for engagement shouting slurs for attention.

You guys are missing out on all the hilarious meme news


“The Great Elon Musk”

Will that be his official title going forwards?
How about not having a sig at all?

"President Musk" within five years. High probability.

And naming it the DOGE is definitely not a crypto pump 'n' dump.

*checks doge price*

No, definitely not.

No, definitely not.
Up 275% in the last month (most of that in the last week or so)

Definitely not just a hype-coin... 😂

Which one of them is rich enough to buy themselves the job ? Donald is utterly corrupt enough to sell the VP position and then stand down, if someone offers him enough money.

Even if it becomes possible I doubt Arnie would try, he's 77 now and has plenty of health issues.
