Well, I did wonder, but it says it's official so....
I'm keeping an eye on it to find out - I'd have thought it might have posted something about the U21's game, but hasn't, which doesn't seem too good.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Technology] Has anybody come off of Twitter / X? How easy did you find it?

Pretty amateurish if these are the official accounts. It would make a lot more sense to use brightonandhovealbion.com Hopefully this is someone at the club having a sniff around to understand the platform.
Instructions here if anyone is interested https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
I'm a minimal user of WhatsApp, just a couple of Chat groups. Only recently realised the "Updates" with its "Channels" section might be another alternative for Twitter. I know WhatsApp is linked via my phone number, but I'd rather watch Albion videos on my iPad. There doesn't seem to be a direct iPad equivalent to the iPhone app, but dozens of variations. What app do people recommend?
Maybe one day.
I've gone in quite heavily on Facebook over the last few weeks, but it's kinda tactical for something else I want to do.
I always felt a bit of a fraud on twitter as I essentially only opened it on or around matchdays and generally just broadcast stuff out, plugging this place, and rarely got involved in conversation.
I'd much rather spend my time on here than pretty much anywhere else.

I joined Blue Sky last week and it is rapidly becoming my scrolling app of choice. It's really good for Albion content at the moment. It is quieter than twitter and it is all the better for it. We'll see how it goes when it gets busier. For now the signs are good.
I'm still on twitter though, it is still better for me for things like Washington Commanders content amongst other things. I'll ditch my account when I cease to use the platform, so I'll still be on there for a while yet.
I do think Blue Sky has potential though, seems much better than threads which I do not really engage with at all.

Ooh, will give that a whirl, thanks

deactivated Twitter and gone alll in on Bluesky.
I hadn't really registered how bad Twitter had got, until I'd spent a week on Bluesky.
Oh yeah, this is what Twitter used to be like.

I did a lot on Twitter during the heady days of trying to reverse the idiotic Brexit decision and had quite a large number of followers. It was pretty toxic, even then, but I wanted to add my voice to the political discussions going on in the country. However, when Liar Johnson got elected in 2019, I basically concluded 'the game's gone' as UK voters (in general) are obviously morons and closed down my account immediately. Never been back and couldn't be happier.
Looks like the club is now using the bluesky account set up a few days back. Some matchday content has appeared and the linktree from their instagram account now references bluesky as per below.

Pinned to James O’Brien X account

The responses were a reminder of what X has become and was the prompt to opening a BlueSky account. BS feels a bit pleasantly barren. Early days.

I'm definitely on twitter less. Still take a peek but not at the obsessive levels I used to.
This is a great thread full of tips and tricks for people new to Bluesky, who want to try out some clever stuff.

I deactivated my Twitter account a couple of days ago. Bluesky has now reached the tipping point where there's more than enough content, and way way less of the nonsense since "the genius" took over.

10 days ago deleted X from my phone, today de-activated. Serves no purpose anymore for me..
