Note: I went back to X. Nixed all my "following" there, removed the "for you" tab, and rebuilt a more newsy feed. I feel much better informed as a result. Unpleasant to admit, but bsky felt too much like a shrinking echo-chamber for me. Will continue to check in occasionally. Good luck.
What a shame. Not sure why you find it satisfying to support Elon . . .
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bye, won’t miss you.
For example, what news are you getting there but not here?
I, for one, have trouble getting the Catturd Digest here on bluesky. The Everything App is a must-have for that sort of newsiness
AI, Ukraine, Middle East, Israel, OSINT, defense, intel, more. Some communities never left X in large numbers, especially abroad.
Yeah, some of those are the accounts I miss too.
Downside: Also Nazis
In Japan Twitter is still the default medium for so many people and organizations. I hate it but there it is.
Big in Japan…

Specialists never really did. That being said I've found telegram more useful than X these days, since most OSINT is coming that way anyway.
Not sure why that needed an I'm-outta-here announcement (unless it's an attempt to shill for Twitter). But, hey 🤷♀️You do you.
I, too, have gone back to X in a more limited way.
Note: collaborator feels much better among his own kind.
Eat shit, Nazi collaborator
Bye Felicia.
Delete your account, don't come back, have fun with the Nazis
How do you deal with the nazis & right-wing trolls without screaming? That place makes me feel like I need a shower after five minutes of scrolling.
Removed the For You tab?? How?
How do you remove the "for you" tab, please?
There are multiple solutions chromewebstore.google.com/detail/remov...
Nice! Thank you, sir!
Bye
I didn’t leave X because there was a difference of opinion. I left because the posts weren’t from humans. It’s all bots and automated fake accounts. Musk’s little place to promote conservative propaganda
You are a narcissist. You. Old have done all this and told mo one.
How are you better informed as a result?
lol I knew the replies to this would vindicate it
Okay.
cause you are an idiot
That's the unfortunate truth of it.
Personally, I’d rather go completely without social media rather than contribute one penny towards Elmo’s net worth. Fuck that guy.
I left twitter the day Elon took over. But how nice for you that you “feel better informed” instead of helping to grow Bluesky.
Twitter is an echo chamber, guess it’s more to your liking.
You’ll be back when you’re sick of X spoon feeding you shit nonstop again.
You suck
Buh bye 👋
You can just say you support fascists. No need to dress it up.
I didn't close my Twitter account because I was offended by it, I closed it because by keeping it open and using it I was benefiting Elon Musk, and fuck that guy. Are you pretending you have no other method of getting informed? Your post is disingenuous And I'm not buying it.
Illogical & disingenuous.
I’m not going to lie & say I’m not been tempted to go back. The purity police are really getting on my nerves. However, as a woman, my experience on Twitter is probably much different than yours, I’m not sure where I’ll end up. The algorithm here is delayed & I’m not getting Ukraine content.
Go to Substack — I get my news on Substack to share to Bluesky and Facebook
Fuck off why are you looking at these comments? Go hump Elon’s leg on Twitter. Oh yeah, AI sucks
What in the actual fuck is a “more newsy feed” on any social media? You want news? Read a news publication written and edited by trained journalists with stringent fact-checking requirements. Don’t put more money in the pocket of a raging racist and conspiracy theorist who is hooked on ketamine.
Echo chamber doesn’t pay the bills of the people shitting all over your country. Keep feeding them, if you need to. We’ll stay here uninformed. I guess?
The tail wagging the dog
lmfao
Ya Twitter is known for *checks notes* accurate information LOL
There is no way I know of to kill the algorithm, and to make it so people that pay Musk to don’t have their comments at the top of anything you post.
You aren't capable of staying informed without using a Nazi's propaganda platform? Sad. The internet was useful before social media enshittification. btw it's really creepy: I looked for musk's sieg heil on gifs and there are only edited videos where he doesn't do this:
Except it’s owned by Elon.
Yeah they've been pushing the Zohran thing too much for me. Ooh, you've won your own primary. Let's roll the dice here and bet the whole entire farm on it. Turn him into the new AOC except without the hard work or the education. Africana studies huh
Cool story Naziboi.
we miss you. bsky.app/profile/stea...
better informed about what?
Well………bye!
I get my new on Bluesky. Follow reporters and read the article people post.
😳
They’re all echo chambers—digital bars buzzing with half-facts, opinions soaked in ideology, stirred around a kernel of conspiracy and served neat with supposition. Everyone searching for consensus in places where truth no longer takes the stage—only applause does. 🍸👽🚬
Feels very propagandist to me… but you do you. Personal, I’ll hold onto to my morals and not support someone like Musk. There are other news sources.
Even when you rise above the rivers of shit coursing through the Twitter sewer, all you’ll find are fart fumes.
If only there was a good reason to leave twitter and build something new somewhere else.
