Let’s go Bluesky🤘💙🤘

It feels like home 😌

Let's goooo!

Down a 1000 on x 1000 up here in a week. Yea

Heya David! Found you here!

What has made Bluesky peak so much recently?

👏🏼👏🏿👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏻

81001

I'm not grabbing enough followers here sadly, but I did not have many on X.

I had 43k+ it helps when you follow back.😘💕💞

I do follow back :)

In 10 years on the bad place I had 1400 followers, in a week here I’m up to 725! This place is definitely better and more like the old Twitter we loved before that asshat bought it and ruined it.

Amen. Bluesky is the future. Real people and honest voices!!

Looks like a net gain of about 75000, David. Happy to help.

Oh there you are

81000? Incredible! That’s more than me!

Uninstall Twitter and don't look back.

Literally just saw this.

🍾

Send some my way

I generally don't follow those who have a tendency to not reciprocate, but I've made an exception for you as I genuinely enjoy your yt content. I would be pleasantly surprised if you followed back.🤗🇨🇦

Billionaire Kelly Loeffler was nominated by Donald Trump as secretary of agriculture after agreeing to sell her crypto business to Trump's media not to mention the fact that her husband is the owner of NYSE who donated millions of dollars to Trump campaign youtu.be/lvRwKdDP-CY?...

You got it!!

Glade I found you here!

Good morning, David. How lovely to find you here.

You are a loser for going on Piers Morgan and actually getting wrecked by these people

Nice trade.

It's called X. Get it right..you know, like you told us how to pronounce Kamala's name?

That's awesome! I'm a big fan and you do great work.

I believe these are the very type of actions we can do collectively to shut these fools' agendas right down? If we can move this quickly together from all ends of the Earth & cause a stir overnight- Imagine....!

81,001 now 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

People still find you credible after failing us this past election?

I had not been active on Twitter for awhile, but when I went to check last week I had lost over 90% of my followers. I doubt that it was just because I was inactive. I presume it was a result of a tweak of algorithm to get rid of my perspective. It also didn't help that I promoted #BlockElonMusk

And you don’t even have a bio.

Leave x...

but can you follow me?

Let's follow each other

Absolutely

Mhmmmmm. And barely following anyone back. That makes you a "Follower Harvester" And THAT IS STRAIGHT UP TWITTER BULLSHIT! Here is different, interact or piss off, we are tired of super accounts that refuse to follow anyone back! I am not alone in this opinion.

I’m up 1700 🙃 I never got more than 100 on Twitter 😂😂😂 Of course, I quit going on Twitter and then deleted it.

We all left Twitter.. we slid over here ✌️☮️🫶💙

First day on Bluesky. A breath of fresh air.

As you now have almost 92K followers it would be nice if you could help the rest of us out by following more than 222 people. 😊

When do you think you will deactivate?

Félicitations!

Looking for blue followers as well. . .

As a Brit who has no direct interest in what happens with US politics, I thoroughly enjoy your videos; especially in the run up to the election.

Before Eline’s purchase and takeover, it was a very usable app. Now, it is painful even attempting to use it

You should do a special on the ICC arrest warrant. 🤔

Loud stats

Wow nice! I’m new here still getting the hang of it but I like this a lot more than x

I'm here because I prefer the civility. But I'm remaining on X because it's still necessary to do one's best to counter the "anti-woke", right wing nonsense. I'm worried X will become all the right; Bluesky will become all the left; and never the twain shall meet.

You are wasting your time. Let it die. Without actual humans as punching bags, Twitter is nothing but bots and Fascists. Why bother? Do you honestly think anyone there gives a shit what you think? All you are doing is generating "interactions" and ginning up advert numbers. Close your account.

X won't die. It will still have right wing influencers and politicians and many stupid influenced people. Few people care what I think so I hope more well known reasonable people also stay. But I stay to learn and possibly prick an occasional conscience or two.

Nah. It is bleeding advertisers and what is left of Humans, which will make the bot heavy remains unviable. "Influencers" can pound sand-- they can try and sell shit to each other. No one has a need for them, and as soon as their sponsors figure it out that cash will disappear, too.

Owned by a multi-billionaire with a major role in the US government, X is hardly likely to be short of money.

How many do you follow back? Yeah, that's what I thought. Do better.

It was liberating to leave X and actually close that account. I wish that good feeling in the near future.

I stopped using it the day Musk took over and I haven’t looked back. People need to realize that even if they’re just lurking there, they’re helping generate ad revenue for some of the worst people on the planet.

Ever other tweet on twitter is an ad since Musk bought it. I haven't seen an ad here yet. I'm glad I left.🙂

I lurked for awhile but mainly cause had no where to go. I am so glad David told me about this app in one of his YouTube videos recently. Much happier here.

This app will only be better if we stopped talking about 𝕏 and Elon Musk

Truth

Millions of new users are coming directly from there, that's what they are going to talk about when they get here. I just came from there, it's just so bad it's hardly tolerable anymore. It's really shocking to subscribe to block lists here and it be so peaceful.

Agreed. I think I am up to six block list. I love it because despite account blocks, discussions still flow naturally, unlike Facebook blocks.

U can't ignore a reality. Instead one should acknowledge the strength of your opponent if you want to overtake him

I do agree.

True

Of course you're right, but it's fun to tear down Space Karen and his ilk which pulls the magaTs out from under their rocks where they can them be reported, blocked and ultimately banned. It's a work in progress 😁

I doubt that everyone realizes that the other place makes people mad at each other on purpose. And even trying to be the voice of reason makes EM richer. People are going to talk.

There is value here in organizing to resist. Fascism threat doesn't go away by ignoring it. The difference here is its a choice - the algorithm isn't going to force propaganda on us. And we choose to block troll toxic shit

Same reason I was never able to be a part of any news/conversations on Twitter. So glad there's an option now that isn't trying to force right wing conspiracy theories into my feed

Same thing I did!

Me too. The day it was finalized was the day I deactivated and left…I went back to Facebook and now that is temporarily deactivated for a while….

Unfortunately, some have migrated here. It's so important to read bio, posts, and theme of people you follow. They, too, are tracking large # of followers. Scary, I report, block, or mute.

Why continue talking about 𝕏 and Elon, this app isn't just that...

You do realize the sentiment is the same on both forums?

Bluesky isn’t owned by a billionaire with a direct line to the President-Elect. It also doesn’t even have ads yet so posting here is not generating ad revenue.

Same

Same. I deleted my 2008 account the day of the “let that sink in” photo. Been dependent on Reddit since then for my social media fix. Just glad the great migration is finally happening. Threads just never felt like a true replacement.

Agreed. I did the same thing.

Same same

My profile is still active as far as I know, but it’s locked down and abandoned. I wouldn’t be surprised if, after Elmo’s deleted my accounts due to inactivity, I’d eventually have to start over. He hates me anyway. Maybe 20 years from now I’ll revisit, but until then, nah. Why should I?

I used to look but then i decided i dont want to be part of that nazist mud and the only way to stop me was to delete the app. It worked!

This place is hot and Twitter is dying a slow death 🦋

Wow! That 81,000 sounds like some good and decent people people who voted and elected President Biden in 2020.

Awesome

Letting go isn’t about giving up. It’s about trusting what’s meant for you will always find you.

Rip the bandaid off.

I truly didn’t know I wasn’t following. Fml lol

81000 and 1 yer welcome

Echo chamber and bot swarm. If it makes you feel good about yourself I guess, you need to take Ws where you can.

It’s easy to see why. At X you have swim through bunches of content you don’t even want to see. Here all you see is the content of those you’re following.

But Kamala lost.

Your follow back ratio is less than impressive

I think it’s taking a bit of adjustment for high-follower accounts from Twitter to realize the culture (and mechanics) are different here.

Yep … the masses expect mutual following, unless we’re getting something unique - like a George Takei. He’s a treasure

I don’t expect mutual follows.

I kind of do … mutual respect, sort of. 😇

Different kinda ratio I'm seeing now too, bet he didn't even see that one coming...

Funny, it was 70k , first time I saw him , 80k I'm quote and now 92k on profile page. I'm betting that ratio get even smaller now.

81,001. 🫡

And you have Trump to thank for this change of fortune

Same

I'm struggling to get pushed out!

Thx again for being here 💙🦋💙

bsky.app/profile/nake...

You just got another follower.

Time to boycott Twitter #ex-X

Please do

I’m one of those 6k that deleted my Not Twitter acct for bluer Skies.

If you have a conscience, you will leave X

Jolly good news IMO. I left Twitter all together. Greetings from Sweden.

Happy to find you here

You get a hero cookie when you leave Twat-X and stop funding Elon African Nazi Musk. Kisses!

Twitter is caustic. Bluesky is civilized. It's that simple, folks!

I’m really wondering what people think about Bluesky. What are pros and cons btw I’m not a twitter user also

The more leave X the happier I get.

Banned on Twitter for calling Elon out for sucking Trump's mushroom ..... On Bluesky freely breathing

Wow!

Why do you think people on X stop following you David? Do they become right-leaning supporters and no longer want to hear your views? I don’t get it—why would they follow you in the first place if they leaned right?

I would guess it’s people deleting X accounts.

Oh yes, that make sense

Is Twitter a thing? I much prefer X now.

@davidpakman.bsky.social is right haha I am glad that there are more from X because the Trumps are always calling Bluesky the Pride Word which causes phobias to children who read Drag Stories before gender assignment so I agree with everything you say #

I love this!!

I left the dark place yesterday! Happy to be here💙🦋💙🦋💙

another one who for some strange reason has trouble calling X by it's name, why?

And I have 500. WTF?

Net profit. 📈

And isn’t that sad that so many people only want a place where their feelings are not so hurt. Reading through tweets or whatever they are called here, just one sided opinions the majority of the time, that’s not the case on X as it’s called, not Twitter!

Yet you don’t follow back. 🤔

😭

Not only did I leave X I took Tesla off my list. I was considering Tesla as one of the first choices but now it’s not even in the list.

Hi David! I will take that any day of the week as well. I am subscribed to you on YouTube and you are awesome!😍😍🥰❤️ Keep up the good work. 😍🥰❤️👍

Fuck Twitter and anyone still supporting it

Thanks for the suggestion. I came over from Twitter

I got 3 followers 😂👍

I like the math, David !

Feel free to increment your Bluesky followers by one more ☺️

How? I only get women showing off their bodies with no followers. I need the cheat code!

I unfollow each person on Twitter that I spot here. I don't want to engage with Musk's Hellscape when I can avoid it. Perhaps other people are doing the same?

Twitter is dying

💙

Plus one

Over here it works so much better if you follow folks back and really engage. But anyhoo ‘look at meeeee’ self-absorbed counts matter to some people still. 🤷🏻‍♀️🦋

Bluesky = kryptonite to MAGA

And twice on Tuesdays, even. 😊

Why are you losing so many followers on X? What did you do

Because people are closing their X accounts and moving here 🙂

Because people are moving to this app and elsewhere.

Everyone is dunking on Elon.

I like your YouTube so I looked to see if you were here. Nice to see you on Blue Sky. Thank you for your YouTube channel helps keep me sane through the dark times we are about to face.

are you planning on staying on Twitter?

Congratulations! 👏👏👏

We go where we are appreciated!! Glad you opted to add BlueSky because there is no way I would stay on any platform that is owned by anti-American "cheeseballs".

On twitter I gone from 1.3k to 1.2k overnight, but on #bluesky I’m slowly grown my followers, but not as fast as some people , and as fast as I would like.

Leave Twitter. Tank it.

They're not all fans David. Many just want to see what liberal bullshit ur spewing 2 keep an eye on the venomous snakes trying to corrupt the USA with woke toxins, distorted reality, subversive rhetoric, mis & disinfo, propaganda, amoral & immoral principles & normalization of deviancy & decadence

Still a leftwing hyperbolic legend in his own mind! "Hey look at me,look how many followers I have aren't I great? I'll block u if u hurt my feelings, challenge my BS, argue w/me or use on me the sarcasm & insult I use on others"..pats self on back. Here's your participation trophy keyboard warrior

Closed my Twitter account; created a BlueSky account. Support you all the way David.

Just take losing 6k followers on Twit as a badge of honor. They can't tolerate the light.

Nice. Update: -90 followers on Twitter -3 on bluesky 🤣

bots is bots

You're the best that's why!

You love to see it!

You convinced me to make the switch, so far so good.

Following you from YouTube. Glad you are here because I deleted all of my other social media accounts!

Congrats!

Now you have 81,001!

I want to see his empire burn to the fucking ground. A South African buying a presidency for a complete narcissistic sociopath. Why would he fuck with the country that made him? His BLATANT BROMANCE W/FELECT TRUMP HAS FUCK U AMERICA ALL OVER IT.

Here, I’ll fix it for you. 6000 bots lost due to Elon’s bot deleting algorithm. 81500 bots added on Bluesky due to incompetence and no ability to stop them. This site will die within a few months. 🤣

Keep up the good work, like your channel, thank you!

But the haters will come 😔

The 6K less on the other side are people who fled from X. Many finally understand the name 'ex' suits it well.

Honest question — why does it matter so much?

Mine went down a lot on Twitter too and just joined here. Seems so much better here already.

Alright now 👍🏽

I left twitter awhile ago but I like blue sky. It is nice not to have right wing crap shoved down my throat.

People still on XTwitter are the problem. 😏

Glad you came over. I left Twitter when Elonia let Fuentes and Trump back on. Let them hang out with their own.

Are ya now? Lololol

That one must have been on a maga list I blocked the first day I joined. Didn't even see that reply, just yours lol

I give them zero energy. They only have "owning the libs." So they out themselves. I'll go through their friend list and block them first and then them. They can hang out with their own.

Just got another whining about the blocking. Checked their list. This one started out the gate zero followers and 4 posts. "Only 2 genders" blocked. I owe you nothing. Zero energy.

Amén baby

I don't even see them. Most maga accounts do not exist for me here. It is wonderful. They way the function works, threads still flow naturally. I don't even give maga the energy it takes to block them. I have only seen 1 pro- maga post on this thread. You can still block individual accounts.

There are a shitton of them on this thread alone. Just go through and block them all. Everyone deny them a foothold.

I'm not seeing most of them since I've subbed to a lot of the huge block lists. This is such a cool feature.

Moderator block list subscribe to one or more will block multiple maga accounts by simply subscribing to the list. There are several links to these lists on my page.

Get on a moderator maga block list or six. You subscribe to the maga block list, and all the accounts on that list are automatically blocked for you. As they add accounts to the list, they are automatically added to your. I have several of those lists reposted on my page.

I prefer the individual approach. It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction to look them in the (virtual) eye as I tap Block. If it should ever get too much I will make use of the block lists though, but so far I can deal with it.

Same. Plus, I want to see who they're following. If they're bots. Etc.

I have noticed most seem to have very few contacts here. It must be hard for them to be deprived of the attention that they crave.

I've noticed they're layering good accounts in with their shitbuds. They ones I've blocked all followed the blusky acct first. I think they're trying to flood it with maga bot access. I like data. And I know that's how they swarmed dead twitter. They botted the place up.

Welp, I didn't proofread that after editing before hitting send. lol More cooofffeeeeeee

Mid-day here so I have no excuse

5 am. I am a really bad typist.

I couldn’t find him when i wanted to block him. He must be gone….?

I subscribed on X a couple of months before the election to help share facts with those who were truly confused but curious. The day after the election, I canceled my premium account. Learned about this site from a private group on facebook

That’s the day I left too. Very sad to go but it was just toxic. Glad to have this now!

Time to drop the T, perhaps?

81001 🫡

Deleted twitler. Who needs a nazi fishbowl.

I canceled my twitter/x the day after the election. All the only fans/crypto bots that made up the majority of my followers were likely super sad to see me go

Go David!!!!

F twitter!!

Down zero on twitter because I didnt use, up 300 on Bluesky because I do use :)

I was very active on X since joining in July of this year, but I think I’m going to stick with Bluesky going forward, if I am to do only one of the two.

I need tips to build an audience...just joined today :)

Decide what kind of content you want to interact with and find related feeds, I think that’s the easiest way to get this baby going

Tysm!!

Don't be a douchebag generally helps. Find like-minded, and follow them; they aren't going to gravitate out of nowhere.
