Countdown until Musk sues every single one of them for the crime, no treason of not giving him all their money.
How do I follow someone on bluesky from Lemmy?
Unfortunately you can’t follow users on Lemmy. On Kbin, Mastodon and others, you can follow Bluesky users through Bridgy Fed but they must opt-in first by following @ap.brid.gy (which very few people do)
What’s up with everyone spamming these ad articles for bluesky?
Americans are weird. Four years ago, Trump lost the election and he was dumped from Twitter in a heartbeat. Enters Musk and buys Twitter, baptizes it as X. Somehow, Musk achieved the unachievable. No, he didn’t make Twitter profitable, he makes it even shittier. Trump gets back to X. Presidential elections happen. Trump wins in a landslide. Bluesky arises. Now Democrats have their own social media club and Republicans, conservative minds, stay in X. Really, if the USA won’t change their electoral system it could separate into two or three different countries at this point.
Except, for now, they will unite against Mexico, Iran and China.
Finally got around to signing up to Bluesky after avoiding Twitter for almost two decades and, well…I don’t get it. The entire thing is basically just Shower Thoughts, Shower Thoughts featuring politics, and the occasional picture of a cat… That’s it? Really? It’s like a more boring version of Lemmy and Imgur. Please explain what I’m missing here cause I lost all interest after about 30 minutes on the site.
If you avoided Twitter, why would you think you’d like its alternative?
It’s just a microblog site. Depending on what you’re interested in, it can be good for news, social movements, updates from companies (i followed game devs and would see patch notes and things), keeping up with celebrities or content creators, following topics or hobbies you’re interested in (like you might here), or like when nearly everyone was on Twitter - just seeing what trending things people are talking about. If something is going on, like the Mike tyson Jake Paul fight, seeing everyone’s takes on it, jokes, memes, can be fun for people or make them feel connected.
It’s the same crap as Twitter, I don’t get why people ever used it in the first place.
Like Lemmy or any social media really, you get out what you put in. If you just follow the generic feed without following anyone, yeah it’s going to suck.
You can make lists, so one for your friends, one for news, one for a hobby. Or you can filter hash tags to really narrow in on a topic. People also make “starter packs” of who to follow for any topic you can think of.
This format is also unbeatable for breaking events.
