thread for us twitter escapees to post their links etc. keep all the anti-elon stuff in the twitter thread**edit** was going to move all the posts containing links to here from the twitter thread but realised it'd probably mess up the thread with them pre-dating this thread. **edit 2** remember to keep everything board legal so no linking to nudity or anything against our rules.

Bluesky's down for me at the moment, which makes sense given the jump-over's been massive today.

Darn, guess we'll never have a "Threads thread" thread.

The jump over has been so massive that the last 2 days they were having trouble with usernames showing up as "ID not valid" until they presumably kicked more servers in

So far, BlueSky has been good. I wasn't optimistic at the beginning because it feels like a Twitter clone but with the recent features, it surely no longer feels like one. In addition, I'll link my project account if anyone's interested to follow me - bsky.app/profile/thewemdb.bsky.social & www.threads.net/@thewemdbI mostly (re)post/like anything related to music in the world of wrestling as well as graphics/art/music videos.

Been on there for a while but until recently it's been a bit quieter, while it's nice to see it getting this level of success, part of what made it special (on top of devs genuinely trying to make a better user experience, imagine that) was that it didn't have the worst of Twitter's culture, and I hope that doesn't infect it too much with the current influx. Seeing the likes of Ricky Gervais come over like he's not the poster boy for the 'X' brand of edgelordy bigoted excuses for comedy just feels like a worrying sign.
But hey, if they can get over the server issues, nice to have somewhere that isn't run by Musk. Have fun on there and remember to add alt text to your images.

Don't forget about the "detaching quote" feature if someone quotes your post dunking you.
