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

Joined Bluesky earlier this week, the influx has definitely reached a tipping point for the accounts I follow, have to say it’s impressed me so far

Not deleting Twitter just yet because I find it hard not to watch a car crash, but it’s definitely gone on the back burner and I wouldn’t miss it if it disappeared tomorrow

As someone who is staying in that environment, has would you describe that 'certain type of person'?

Cry more, trophyless, small club supporter.

So with all these people leaving X for Bluesky let’s hope they don’t turn it into another shitshow

Don't tell the dirty 6 plastics about Bluesky.

This is my fear. I can already see loads of people piling in very keen to get very political. Which is fine, but I hope there's a way to stay out of that more effectively than there was on Twitter.

You won't get the tweaked algorithm pushing all the Musk disinformation into your feed.

Nothing wrong with that. The problem (for me) that developed on Twitter was the focus on monetisation since 2022. This meant that people paying for their blue ticks got elevated to the top of the comments of any tweet, and most of them were either trolling for engagement or using automated AI response to spam as many popular accounts as possible. The result being that you'd have to scroll though a load of abuse and/or nonsensical AI bollocks to read any sort of thoughful response.

it got even worse after Musk tweaked the algorithm on 13th July to support Trump's campaign.
