It’s post Trump election trauma. Brief loss of sanity and quick correction by both of us.

Almost all of my sports follows are there. So I’m done with twitter.

I joined.

Is it really Elon free? Have they preemptively banned him or he just hasn’t joined it yet?

Anyway, I want to find out how to use these block lists people talk about. The idea sounds awesome.

signed up yday, digging how it’s basically twitter. i highly doubted i’d ever get completely off twitter, now, i could see in the mid-term future completely switching.

still gonna need to figure out a) who to follow, and b) how to get this algorithm working, bc i’m sure regretting clicking photography as one of my interests. sheesh. i had to mute a couple accounts bc that’s all that was in my feed.

i wish there was an easy way to toggle between feeds, like different accounts (on the same account) that follow different things.

one for politics, sports, card collecting, etc. like saturdays in the fall, 95% of my twitter feed is michigan football which, obviously. but then it fades away until next week which is perfect.

it’s just, yes, i like reading politics. but sometimes i want nothing to do with it and it’d be nice on those days to be able to switch to an account that doesn’t get any politics.

please share

A bunch of starter packs to get up and running quicker.

was just going to post the starter pack page.

I really like that feature, as well as the ability to make a block list and share it.

Been saying for a while now that Bluesky is much better for news than post-Elon Twitter.

So we like Jack Dorsey now? I’m very confused.

Dorsey is a weird dude, but between Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg he is very much a hero.

I’m using the iOS app and it has this really annoying feature where as you are scrolling it just refreshes and shoots you back to the top. Is there a way to stop this?
