put some more thought into it and tl;dr: leaving bluesky

bit more elaboration in the screenshots below, and links to other socials in replies

so long and thanks for all the fish
So I'm not gonna be all eloquent and soapboxy here since I don't really see a need to, but yeah, I think I’m done with Bluesky, if not GREATLY shrinking my presence on it. I’m not gonna delete my account (or even deactivate it for that matter, barring the worst) but don’t expect much coming from here going forward. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, there’s all the bullshit the moderation team is up to. Now, I left Twitter before Elon took over, so I don’t have any first-hand comparisons to make, but a moderation team that seems almost gleeful in shunning the audience it’s garnered through censorship-heavy TOS and allowing problematic folks in when people are very vocally against letting bigots and other hate speech on the platform is… yeah, a bad sign. The second reason is… I think I’m just kinda done with post-based social media in general. I’ve tried a few times on different platforms, but either they just didn’t really “click” with me (Tumblr) or got so unstable that I wasn’t really having fun anymore (Twitter, Reddit, and now Bluesky). Moreover, I need to realize that the constant doomscrolling and feelings of helplessness and uncertainty that social media brings just isn’t worth any reward for me. I’m very grateful for all my followers (seriously how tf did I get 800+), but I gotta make mental health more of a priority in my life, and I think dropping most social media is gonna be a BIG step in that. I’ve tried to compromise, I’ve tried to tailor the experience, but at this point I think the best solution is to go full cold turkey. Sucks, but what can ya do. The good news is I’m not falling off the face of the Internet entirely. I’ll still be on Discord and Unvale, which I think is where a good chunk of my followerbase comes from anyway. I’m also gonna try and revive my Newgrounds account for art stuff, so if you’re following me for that, mosey on over there. (continued in next pic) (I also might try Reddit again? I know I just said I would go cold turkey from social media, but my Reddit experience wasn’t near as miserable as the worst of Twitter/Bluesky, so maybe I can give that another whirl in the relatively-distant future. I dunno. We’ll see. if it happens i’ll gladly take the inevitable wholesome 100 chungus jokes on the chin) So yeah, this is where it ends. Again, I’m honored to have had a platform here, and I appreciate all the support I’ve gotten, but the cons are starting to outweigh the pros. Bluesky, it was fun while it lasted.

You know it's important when I'm (briefly) returning to Bluesky to post about it. Make Annalynn real
cruiseelroy.bsky.social Cruise Elroy @cruiseelroy.bsky.social · Oct 9
It's finally here!! You've been asking for this for a long time, so I'm finally bringing an official Annalynn plushie to you guys through Makeship!

We need 200 petitions to bring this to reality, so back it while you can! Petitions close on October 19th.
Annalynn's official plushie is finally here, via Makeship! This is a rough mockup of how the final plushie will look.

A little tribute to @swirlymuse.bsky.social who sadly passed earlier this year. She was the best person in the world at drawing Super Sonic and one of the kindest people I knew

#sonic #STC #art
Two coloured sketches of STC Super Sonic. On the left hes flying into the air, fists clenched leaving a white trail behind him. On the right he is standing and holding out a green emerald while fire forms at his feet

Inspired by Day 2 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Coffee Shop AU!

Thought this'd be fun to do with Casp and Fran. They're from a school-based story, stands to reason they'd have a part-time job in a cafe.

#art #oc #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart
Art of two OCs, Caspian and Francesca, working at a coffee shop. Both are sixteen years old - Casp is the boy on the left, and Fran is the girl on the right. Casp is handing a coffee out with a wink, while Fran is writing down another customer's order on a notepad.

Day 3! #oc #ocsky

Today's word is "crystal", bringing us Lady Disma!
(If I end up leaving Bluesky, I'll continue to do the challenge elsewhere, so don't worry about that.)
Today's word is crystal! On the mortal side of the Arcana universe, there is a kingdom known as Fortuna; Unlike Arcana, which promotes a sense of humble unity and cooperation, Fortuna favors those with wealth and riches, leaving anyone unlucky enough to keep up with very little. Among the high and mighty of Fortuna is none other than Lady Disma, whose haughty and seemingly proper demeanor proudly displays her vain and greedy lifestyle. No matter how much she has, she must simply have more, and she has little care for who she hurts or scams to get it. Lady Disma's main weapon is a magical staff, with which she can attract crystals and other gemstones like a magnet or shoot off energy beams which can turn objects and people to crystalized statues (though the effect is only temporary on living beings). If she really has to get her hands dirty, though, she can transform her body into pure crystal, buffing her strength and durability at the cost of being unable to perform other magical feats.

As Bluesky becomes more and more unappealing due to management's actions, I might try and spruce up my Newgrounds page a bit. Y'know, just in case.

(also moots; feel free to drop your NG links below if you have 'em!)

This is such a high quality social media CEO crash out. "Are you paying us" lol this thing doesn't work without people on it, Jay! Did you forget!

Nothing has concerned me for the health of this app as much as Jay's behavior here. Bluesky has made bad decisions before, but management wasn't Muskposting before.
ghostlysable.bsky.social Sable, Sapphic Wet Nightmare 🏳️‍⚧️ @ghostlysable.bsky.social · Oct 3
I understand Jay's thinly veiled crash out on a human level — getting dogpiled sucks, and a lot of people act annoying as hell when they don't like something.

But also, all of this happened because BlueSky doesn't respond to good-faith criticism. We tried it and nobody felt heard or respected.

He's old.

A watercolour illustration of Gerson Boom from Deltarune. He is an old turtle character with one eye closed, one eye wide open, and an old timey Autumn season outfit. He has a bright green cane for some reason. He's old.

I hate that it's come to this, but we've been unexpectedly hit with a big car repair, and we're kind of out of options.

But I don't like asking for help without offering you *something*, so: Ask me anything in the message section, and I'll respond here with a *video* answer.
