Those of you on X (or were formerly) is it done-for, do you think? Are you going to other platforms? Blue sky gets mentioned a lot. Some days it does seem like policing the internet – there’s a never-ending supply of driver and other trolls/ bots. Was thinking of joining the January 20th migration.

Bluesky now.  Decent community has moved across.

Just remember to make a list of your favourite accounts before you go, create a list of those accounts in BS and then pin it to the top menu.

BS has no algo – so you have to collect the accounts you want to see regular updates on in a list and pin it yourself.

Its more work but rewarding coz you see those accounts updates in everytime you go in instead of when Xhitter decides (or not) to show them to you.

I disabled my X/Twitter

I disabled my X/Twitter account months ago when my feed was filled with thinly disguised porn, racism, and “watch people die” videos.

I mostly miss cycling Twitter and the World Bollard Association. I’m on Reddit, which is way better than X, but I may try BlueSky.

Ranty highwayman is on there ( cycling highways engineer).
The striking thing you read on bluesky is the level of engagement to posts with a much smaller following than twitter.
Advice is to start with a zero tolerance for extremists, bad faith posters and known accounts by blocking judiciously.

If there’s Nazis on the platform and they’re not being removed, then it’s a Nazi platform.

I can understand that people may have had an account for a while and not want to lose it, but remember that there were a lot of people not taking a stand against Nazi Germany and look how that worked out.

I deleted my twitter account some months ago, as the site was just unusable, not to mention being run by a fascism amplifier.

Cycling twitter is the only thing I miss. Might have a look at Bluesky, as it seems like the best option.
