So, it appears that there is a mass X-odus leaving the X platform for the more refined and better "governed" Bluesky that has been in beta for a very long time and has finally opened up to the public.
Bluesky lacks the several negative experiences resulting from Elon Musk's throttling routines on the X platform, as well as lack of self-moderation tools that Bluesky excels at, among some other very useful and unique features such as user lists which aid in curating feeds, mass muting or blocking, "starter packs" where users can configure lists of suggested users to follow or block via a "select all" option when visiting the starter pack.
Should you decide to jump aboard the Bluesky train, help yourself to one of the most popular mass blocklists on the platform.

Description: Username and / or description which includes MAGA, MAHA, TRUMP, or TRUMP 2024, or posts with #MAGA and #TRUMP2024 hashtags or clear indicators of support for Trump.
Many have described the Bluesky experience as that of Twitter back in the golden years before it was bought out by those intending to corrupt the platform to use for their own purposes and deem the new platform as an almost identical experience with all the right features and minus all of the bad ones as of the last year or so.
Should you join, you will see a lot of new users and it easy to gain followers fast, compared to the X platform where you can remain invisible for--well, forever, so now's probably the time to jump into the platform if you ever to plan to since it now has over 1M new users in the last week.
we're 10k people away from reaching 1,000,000 new users in a single day....
help us find 10,000 of our closest friends? as a treat?
