I like this...

1. I left x bcuz of the toxicity and the separation of our people. The clique-ish attitudes and all the negativity that comes of all that.
2. What I love about #bluesky is simply the opposite of why I left X. There is literally a sense of community and I LOVE how we fight 4 ea other.

I left 4.5k followers behind on the platform where I met my life partner because of the changes in terms and policies. I blocked thousands of accounts and now they can see my posts and I theirs. I also was not okay with Grok using my content when I explicitly opted out.

I joined twitter in 2009 and left as soon as it was taken over by its new owner. I can’t say I love blue sky yet, I just joined today. I can say that I do like it so far and it’s easy to use. I might be here for a while.

I was actually suspended. I tweeted that I hoped Kamala Harris would beat Trump (quite mild). I was suspended because this went against “community rules” - I had to withdraw tweet. I didn’t so couldn’t access account. Tweet appears to have been withdrawn anyway (not by me). I haven’t used it since.

I like Blue Sky because this site is made for people who like to interact in a relaxed atmosphere. Also, it is easier to interact with people in my field. News and research seems to flow openly on this site…

I left 8,000 followers behind on two accounts. I left due to the high number of fake profiles on that site that people use as burner accounts to harass people. I also left due to the high number of bot accounts. The ads played a factor as well.

I learned that Elon supports the Carrot Man and left. X was also full of drama, and people didn't interact with your posts unless you had a famous account. It was so fake on there.

I seen a bunch of people mention Bluesky on Twitter and decided to make an account. I was tired of the evil that was on Twitter. Never looked back since

Love this! 🙌 It’s so refreshing to hear how Bluesky is bringing people together in a real community vibe. What’s been your favorite part about the platform so far?

That’s such a great point! Bluesky really does feel more focused on genuine interactions and community.

Leaving 4.5k followers behind is huge, but it sounds like you made the right choice. How has Bluesky felt compared to your previous experience so far?

That sounds like such a frustrating experience. Bluesky feels like a place where people can engage more freely—how has it been for you compared to what you went through on X?

Bluesky really does foster a more relaxed and open atmosphere. It’s awesome to hear how it’s helping you connect with others in your field—exactly what a social platform should do!

Wow, leaving 8,000 followers behind must have been a tough decision! It’s great that you found a more genuine and relaxed community here. What’s been the most refreshing part of Bluesky for you?

That’s such an insightful take—Bluesky really does feel more genuine and connected. How has the vibe here compared to your expectations?

Great story—welcome to the new social sky!

Love your story! What’s been your favorite part of Bluesky so far?

I saw a small story about Bluesky in a news article online, and I felt Musk only wanted conservatives' viewpoints on X. I shifted over here. I am an oddball. I am super conversative on some viewpoints, and I am super liberal on other viewpoints. I thought that I would fit in better over here.

It starts with Musk and ends with right wing extremism and the inability to get disgusting accounts banned….
