seeing the straw that broke the bird apps back is the complete disregard for the safety of users by changing the block feature is.. bittersweet its nice to see there is still such a big sense of community that enough people who dont agree have moved to bluesky, a safer option, instead welcome :D

Just joined today, curious to see what become of this app :]

it's honestly not even the block, it's mainly the new ToS afaik on top of everything just being a slowly filling septic tank

Joined today and only still have the account over there as I wait for my friends to transition over

Thank you! I’m honestly pulling for this to work out. All the racists and crazies can have that app at this point. I just want fun and good vibes and actual socialization in my social app.

i think, for me anyway, the whole block change made me want to leave bird app but, in my head, there was just too much on bird app to leave, then i saw they would use posts to train ai and decided that yeah there's definitely way too little privacy

good to be here! it’s so much. calmer i love it

It wasn't safe enough before but now 100% is absolutely not safe at all for anyone. It was going slow down the river

Honestly I've wanted to leave for a long time, the literal only thing keeping me on that shitshow of a site was artists I liked but my ass is not dealing with the block feature getting even worse Honestly I'd been seeing people pop up that I blocked and muted for months it's been really frustrating

i've been hiding who i am for a while because i feel unsafe on the internet right now. that was it for me i couldnt handle it
