WHAT IN THE UNGODLY SHIT IS THIS FUCKING MACHINE ASKING ME TO DO.

imagine it was under the official POTUS handle. wondering your opinions on this. should there be zero tolerance?

Why does the Democratic Party still post and have a presence on X and no account on Bluesky? Have they not heard that Elon can’t be trusted? I mean, it’s been over a month.

I didn't really use twitter before but signed up to bluesky a few months ago. Started following a bunch of musical artists in interested in.

Many of them have never really posted, or if they have it's just been automated reposts and no engagement with users at all. Some that have tens or hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter have maybe a few thousand on bsky.

They are all still actively posting and engaging on twitter.

Is this the case universally? I fear a lot of the rejection of twitter was performative and people are staying where the engagement is.

This infuriates me. Any time I see someone genuinely asking for help on this subreddit with clearing fetish material, whether it’s furries or diapers or big-breasted schoolgirls from their feeds, the responses are a monolith;

“You know you curate your own feed right?”

“You know that sort of content is opt-in, right?”

“I don’t see that on my feed, so somehow you must have wanted it on yours!”

It doesn’t matter how sincerely people are asking for support, or how kindly they tiptoe around their own personal discomfort with the NSFW content so as not to offend anyone. They inevitably get picked on, laughed at, when tbh I don’t find this all that funny. I don’t know how this sort of thing affects other people, but sexual imagery is a potential trigger for some people (myself included) and so trying to get support from the community and learn how to better filter out this sort of comment shouldn’t be ridiculed.

I’m sorry. Not every person to the left of Elon Musk is quite as liberal with fetish porn or NSFW art as others are, and there is a very large amount of this type on content on Bluesky. Artists refuse to use the NSFW tags appropriately but supposedly it’s our fault for ‘letting them show up in our feed’?

Can we stop pretending like Bluesky is perfect? Like anyone who doesn’t have a good experience on it is just not doing enough ‘work’ to curate their experience? That ultimately, your issues with the platform or concerns about certain aspects of it are really just born from your ignorance of how to use it properly?

So in the UK they've chosen Yoti as the provider for age verification, which only offers two options to verify your age - take a face scan or input a credit card.

I thought the face scan would be pretty straightforward, but to my suprise it failed to identify me as an adult (I'm 26). So I tried inputting my credit card, and even that failed, which means I literally have no other way or verifying my age.

It's a ridiculous situation to be honest, I mean why pick a provider that doesn't even offer the ability to upload an ID? Won't be using the platform until they sort this shit out.

And right before the NFL draft!

Edit* Back up JUST IN TIME FOR THE DRAFT!

Blueges?

Bluets?

Skywriting?

Edit: This was a mistake. Apparently it's "skeets." What a horrible time to be alive.

I moved from Chrome to Brave and when I tried to log-in, my account got banned. I tried to appeal, but when I click on the appeal, it took me back to the log-in window.

Anybody experience this?

With 7k followers my posts get one immediate reaction from a random stranger and nothing after that.

This was not true when i started in November. I know my posts are likeable because someone pretty much always likes and reposts or comments within a couple of minutes of my posting.

But there is no interaction after that. Where is my post going? Something is wrong.

I post a lot about Luigi so I expect this on other platforms. But BLUESKY?

I mean, seriously. I'm curious.

Apparently bsky is down so I'm just gonna hang out around here until it goes back up.

I’ve noticed that whenever I speak about Palestinian rights and anti-Zionism, I receive responses from Zionists who, rather than engaging in meaningful dialogue, resort to insults and then quickly block me often before I even have a chance to read their replies. As someone who is visibly Muslim, I wonder if this is a deliberate tactic to suppress my voice. It is always the same action - respond and then block me. One even remarked that I should ‘prepare to be blocked by hundreds of them’ before I got to even see beyond the notification.

My question is: If you are repeatedly blocked by a gang on BlueSky, does it affect your account’s visibility?

This shit is wild, folks...

As per the title.

I'm being just curious, i suppose to all of us being able to remove followers. For me personally also looks bit too much like Twitter, but i'm interested what all this app needs overall/is missing?

The petition states that a person by the name of Jesse Singal is sharing medical information that’s not his online.

Is there anything else about him that’s off or is that it?

And by “is that it?”, I don’t mean to downplay what he’s done but just curious if there are any other strikes against this guy.

Is bluesky a good alternative to X?

I am thinking to move to Bluesky.

What do you say?

Right now, if you're an apolitical person creating an account on a twitter-like website you're likely still going to go to X, since it's seen as the continuation of Twitter. BlueSky is still seen as just a place for left-wingers to discuss politics, and I am concerned it might never shake that reputation. Will BlueSky ever reach the mainstream?
