Saw this on Twitter, reposting here, with alt-text, for new arrivals
Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky **Before you start following people**, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. **Turn off NSFW filters** in *Settings > Moderation > Content Filters and *Settings > Moderation > Advanced > Bluesky Moderation Service*. **Find your friends** from the hellsite using *SkyFollowerBridge.com*. **Follow a few feeds** related to your interests. Some generic feeds: - *Catch Up*: kinda like a “best posts of the week” - *Only Posts*: to see no quotes/reposts, only new posts from those you follow - *FollowersLike*: to discover random things your followers recently liked **Turn on “Show Posts From My Feeds”** in *Settings > Following Feed Preferences*. This will sprinkle random posts from your feeds into your main Home feed. **Block often.** Don’t interact with trolls, don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphyxiate. This is the Bsky way. **F*** content scrapers.** Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to *joabaldwin.com/scrapers* and on the top-right clicking on *Subscribe > Block Accounts* **Use alt text** to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on *Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting*. **Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications.** If you only repost stuff, it might look super quiet even if people are liking what you repost. Mix in more regular posts or quotes! **It takes time to rebuild**, and that is fine, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last few tweets to tell everyone to move. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit and will only get worse. Do not support the platform that wants to destroy you. If you must post for a bit longer, post cropped images telling people where to find the uncropped ones until all your friends make the move.
