This will take a couple of days of getting used to and then it’s a doddle. You’ll get some opportunists trying to follow you for the first few days. Sack ‘em and then it settles.

Luv, ex Withington (now Hampshire) beeyaitch x

I miss a proper chippy

About bloody time an’ all Brenda! Now ditch that Twatter cesspit. You’ll be loved here x

This is a correct opinion. My first impression of Bluesky as a fairly early adopter was "hey this is a quiet Twitter but with fewer trolls, spam and Nazis", and happily it's gradually become less quiet while still being relatively pleasant on the latter front with some exceptions.
Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.
I’m reporting first (if appropriate) and then blocking. Just done it to a particularly nasty gaetzmatt troll. They’ll get sick of having to create new accounts eventually and just slide back to the cesspit
I’m a cat person- but if you are a DOG person, you are going to adore this thread 🙂
Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.

This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.

Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.

And that's how they get you, the utter bastards
Niiiiiiiiice move 🤣
Meiselas: As Donald Trump was spending his day with Elon Musk and Republican senators watching the SpaceX takeoff so they could do propaganda events, that's when Biden activated Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senator Dick Durbin—and they started appointing judge after judge...

Hey @mrjamesob.bsky.social! Apparently we are part of a cabal which “sets the agenda on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Good to know, right?

Accepting that you are much younger than me and the impact of global warfare will not hurt me once I’m gone, but DAMN GIRL I am protective of you, your friends and family, my kids and grandkids. We’ve been through this before (three times). We’ll do it again ❤️❤️
None of us do, miluv. We aren’t in the driving seat. My mum was about to give birth to me during the Cuban Crisis. Sent her into labour. I lived having nuclear advisory pamphlets through my door and watching Threads and When the Wind Blows growing up. We can only watch. I send you meaningful hugs x
Please accept that this is my all too dark humour and coping mechanisms.
I’m quite fatalistic about all this nuclear posturing by Russia. Is Ukraine really the hill that Russia wants the world to die on? One warhead from Russia and its nuclear ping-pong. I’ll be out in the street with a bottle of Smirnoff and 20 cigs (gave up in 2014) and kissing my ass goodbye 🤣🤣
I thought he was going to fix things by phoning his mate Putin as soon as he knew he was going to get his feet under the door? Putin clearly can’t wait two months for the Mental Mango.

And Trump hasn’t uttered a word
Clapton constituency is surrounded by landed gentry
A good listen whether you are British or American. Different countries. Same concerns.

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.

Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

I regret to inform you they are now eating pet food on the other site to own the libs
Must take a look, Moley
Part of a thread
Part of the Republican / Trump play book is to have you running putting out ideological fires. From library readings, to deportations, to abortions, school shootings, and etc. A merry go round of stochastic terrorism meant to keep you terrified, busy, and blindly following their preferred narrative.

It's not a difference of political opinions if the opposing side's opinion is that you aren't human or shouldn't exist. That's not how anything works.

Just been over to Twitter and it's lovely - full of friendly people engaged in respectful debate.
Just kidding! It's a binfire of conspiracy theory bollocks and hateful gobshites.

You can literally see the German number plates.

Because Einstein here has used a photo of a GERMAN protest in 2023.
