I got my favorite username, because of a cute girl and a meme about millennials never owning property…getting my preferred username on a new social is the closest I will feel
The only reason I'm on twitter (I refuse to call it x) is because spacex stopped streaming launches on youtube. And even then I only watch the starship launches now.
Irked me so much. Musk did it solely to drive more traffic to X of course, but X has a shitty streaming interface, inadequate live stream visibility + notifications, doesn't support 4K, and is a less stable/reliable platform than YouTube.
Literally the only thing I look at online that could be considered "social media" is imgur. And that's just because I get bored. I feel like I'm one of a kind. I don't even use reddit.
Any tips on how to train the algorithm to show me anime tiddies? I spend all my time there hiding political posts and blocking users, they don't run out
I had a Twitter account before Musk. I used to doomscroll, until I figured there were better places to be, and never went back. Then Musk bought it, and I just uninstalled it. Didn't care enough to try to delete my account, so it's probably still there.
There's no algorithm.....yet. Let's see what happens after a few years. Imgur started as a really great place years ago. Today it's been sold off to a faceless corporation, every promise to not implement a scheme for profit has been broken within a few years of the promise, and it has ads everywhere if you don't use an ad blocker
But I wholeheartedly agree with you, let's enjoy the new hotness while things are good.
Well, there's a gentle algorithm to the what's hot and discover feeds. I don't generally look at them though, I get enough from all the cool people in already following.
I haven’t spent much time blocking, so perhaps I should. Good call - mine imported a ton of follows and connects from my Instagram account which has virtually every demographic I can think of, so there’s a weird mix

Ay, I am enjoying the place plenty.

Buy why?

Same.

Same here, still not sure what exactly to do there though.

I spend about 15 minutes a day there. Just keeping up with a couple of my interests... and then going an doing other stuff.

Share an Imgur meme once a week or two and you’ll be doing your part :)

It's pretty nice. The curated lists/feeds are nicer than the algorithms on other sites.

I'm thinking the same

I was never on Twitter but I will happily make a bluesky account to pump those numbers.

The only reason I joined twitter was to complain on company pages to get faster results to issues. I used it exactly once.

I mostly got on twitter to follow RPG folks when G+ died.

Hey thanks! And I’m happy to know and be friends with many different folks!

This is me. I joined Bluesky out of spite. Never had a Twitter account. Screw Musk!

I downloaded the twitter app. I was about to make an account, then Musk announced. Never logged into it, made my Bluesky account this week.

Welcome!
You'll find that Bluesky is quite a bit different to Twitter.
There's no algorithm to the following feed.
Hashtags work a bit different.
Most of all, please use alt text when posting images.
Otherwise, most people are pretty decent to each other and those who aren't get blocked.

I joined Threads purely out of spite, but it’s pretty fucking gross there too - might be time to migrate myself to the sky.
MaeylaRush
Do it! Join BlueSky!! I’m on there and I can certify it’s the bees knees 😁
HelpfulCorn
Really? I like it. You have to train your algorithm though and use block and blocked words liberally. I almost never see any right wing bullshit

My Instagram is all puppies, yoga, and ballet so it was off to a good start. Very wholesome
