Yes, loving Starter Packs. Once you find someone with similar interests who has a starter pack, you can easily fast track getting your feed solid. For example, the exodus from Twitter to Blue Sky in the last week or so has seen a lot of F1 journalists make the transition, and my shift from X to BS (hmmm, I thought the BS is on X!) has been hastened by finding a Starter Pack with verified F1 journo accounts: https://go.bsky.app/3WViWs5

[Technology] Has anybody come off of Twitter / X? How easy did you find it?

You just need to find a starter pack or two with UK-based feeds and you'll get that algo sorted pretty quick.
Every so often, when I want to feel truly dispirited at the state of social media and humanity, I look at replies to posts from someone like Gary Linekar. Just look at the awful replies to this perfectly reasonable, compassionate tweet from just a few minutes ago. Most of these people are real, they live and breathe amongst us (and a lot support Chelsea!). Just hideous, vindictive trolls. The problem is people. People are awful.

I have inactive burner accounts logged in to FB, Instagram and X solely so I can read things when linked from places like here. Otherwise I browse Reddit occasionally for games or shows I’m interested in, and go on here.
Man City, Chelsea, Palace, Arsenal, Aston Villa ( unless these accounts are fake ).

Been off Twitter for ages other than a dead account for the very, very rare time I needed access - such as team sheets. Just signed up for Bluesky and impressed how many old retro gaming and Albion accounts I found very quickly. Looks like I can get back close to the experience I used to have with Twitter before Musk. Not sure how long it will play nice for though.

Even if you ever did decide to Bin off X one day? just leave it dormant rather than deactivate, that way your username doesnt become usable again after 30 days!

Twitter was a very good platform for free speech.
People like Musk don’t like free speech.

SURELY someone has thought of #muskstinks before now, or am I quite brilliant?

If only we had a charismatic visionary revolutionary right here on this board to make it happen.

Not sure if anyone has already posted this ( apologies if so) but the club seem to have set up a bluesky account: https://bsky.app/profile/officialbha.bsky.social
Also, the women are at: https://bsky.app/profile/bhafcwomen.bsky.social
Happy days. I can close down twitter now.

Is there a way to get notifications when they make a post?

Good question, but I can't see any way of doing it.

I'm not convinced those are genuine.
