Yep, still hate #Brexit and #inequality. I saw Elon's poetry and decided it was enough. Gradually transitioning to here.

EU medicines agency quits X, moves to Bluesky
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Monday it would no longer post on X and would use rival Bluesky instead, becoming the latest organisation to quit a social media platform that some have criticised for its content.

Damn, Twitter really is crawling with Nazis, saying Nazi things. On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, it's very sad to see.

How to survive Trump's America (for non-US folk)

1. Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.

2. Don't obsess over what's happening over there. Sleep is far more important.

3. Ignore all provocations.

4. Wait 4 years.

5. Don't fret about missing out: if the world really ends, you'll know.

Good luck.

I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky.

I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly.

Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6

We're just 700 short of the magic 20,000 and at the rate we are growing on BlueSky that could be tomorrow.

I see they've been quietly getting improving this app since I joined.
Feels nice and snappy.

Now where are those RW a*holes to argue with? 😆

Seriously how do people feel about the "echo chamber" aspect? Any point staying on Twitter?

Hopefully the people who run this platform fully understand the many reasons why a mass exodus of people has fled toxic X, and will do their best to ensure this place never becomes anything like that.

You know, you have to stay here now. You can't do what you did to Mastodon.

Pretend twitter is gone forever. You've been embraced by the smokey tentacles of the blue sky and it's holding you, ready to drag you up to heaven if you try and leave, nobody wants that.

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.

And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.

There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.

If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

A tale of two platforms:

BlueSky user numbers have hit a new record high in recent days, while the number of people deleting their accounts on X/Twitter has rocketed 🚀

What an absolute bin fire Twitter is now!

Did anyone see Elon (aka "the First Lady" 's atheism poem? 🥴😧

That might be the final straw...
