did tpot leave bsky? my following feed is just like… 10 active people and not much else

tpot is still around :) but TPOB (this part of bluesky) is different from tpot! tpob currently appears to be oriented around the deepfates and mimi clusters (other clusters possible) tpot highbies are miffed abt restarting on here as midbies so some have churned and opted to stick with birdapp!

I still see a fair number. You've picked a day where many are probably touching grass instead of doomscrolling drama. Seems we're in the falling action, so I suspect poasting will resume soonish. (Maybe wishful thinking, but I'd like to do some of that for a moment.)

In a way. All you need is Twotter to get worse. Say, Elon goes sicko mode and dies indeed pull out of Europe. That would be a huge boost for this place.

I think some people who were used to a certain level of engagement didn't get the same dopamine hit But tpot custom feed is still the best one even with a bunch of people missing

Custom feeds are available now an there's a TPOT one. Maybe there are more people there? Or maybe everyone is taking the (American) holiday weekend off.

Yes but, trough of disillusionment. It's still early.

pretty much

yeah i maybe check this place ~once a week at most now. mostly just not a fan of what keeps showing up on my feed and it definitely feels like people are trying too hard for clout here

mostly sadly yes …for now?

a lot of yes. the broader vibe here isn't "pro" anything. it's just "anti" some, no- because it's still a neat place to say things differently than other places.
