    So has anyone else looked into this alternative to Twitter/X yet? I see a lot of people I follow are jumping ship and moving over, many are simply closing their Twitter account.

    I actually just looked into Bluesky a couple days ago but I’ll be staying with X. For what it’s worth I use X about once a month on average so neither platform needs me as a follower anyways.

    I don't use twitter anymore. I keep my social media pretty much limited to Instagram these days.

    I was reading about Bluesky out of curiosity yesterday though. It was described in an article from the The Guardian as

    Bluesky offers users the chance to more heavily moderate their experience. This includes the ability to select the algorithm that drives what you see, helping create custom feeds, for example a feed for mutual followers, a feed for cat photos or one for your special interest.
    So Twitter/X is less regulated and encourages discourse and dissenting opinions, but creates a breeding ground for trolls. Bluesky appears to take the exact opposite approach and allows you to cultivate an echo chamber where you never have to be exposed to an opinion that isn't in line with your own.

    So honestly, neither one of them sound seem like a place I want to put any time/energy into.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Sounds like Bluesky is for me. I quit Twitter when Musk took over and haven't looked back. I would like to follow hockey writers and analysts though.

    I created a Bluesky account myself but really havent delved too much into it yet. I need a few more of the main guys I like to see on there before I will get too much into it. Still a nice option to have.

    Haha. Saying Bluesky is an alternative to X is like saying Sam Gagner is an alternative to McDavid.

    Bluesky will be great for a minority of the population and if the proverbial power goes out on legacy media. They could still get the propaganda they crave from Bluesky.

    When Biden stole it in 2020, big conservative accounts lost tens of thousands of followers because Twitter banned hundreds of thousands of Patriots.

    When Trump won in 2024, big Democrat accounts are losing tens of thousands of followers because they’re “self-deporting” to highly censored echo chambers

    American patriots are winning this war because they are willing to die for the truth.

    People considering Bluesky are losing because they are scared of the truth.

    I'm a Bluesky user. The experience is just better. Fewer ads, no spam/porn bots. Not too keen on surrendering my data to X for it to train its AI engine.

    It's been proven that Musk constantly flooded user's accounts with far right propoganda since July. Mine included. I now only engage with accounts that I 'follow'.

    I have opened up a Bluesky account and like that the site is visually similar to the twitter platform as this makes it easier to become accustomed to. This familiararity will make it easy to switch over permanently, although with less engagement.

    Do you have anything positive to say? You're posts are pretty one dimensional and your beliefs are sheep-like. This issue is all over Blue Sky, and so like anything else you say on here politically - it's fake news. But I guess using the 'search' window on blue sky is too much research for you. Better to just open and close your mouth as your puppet masters instruct.
    I'm bored with you. Good bye.

    Well said and well done!

    Hopefully this will bring back some of the people that stopped posting because of crazy hijacking of hockey forums!

    Great!

    Being delusional about a hockey player's potential is a lot saner than being delusional about straight up facts and common sense.
