I spent two weeks trying Threads & Bluesky - this looks like best option thanks to the excellent starter packs from @davidho.bsky.social@geohenning.bsky.social + others - more new connections in 10 mins than 2 weeks on the other 👍
Well — on mastodon I posted the teacher intern thing and got 40 boosts and 8 likes and a few conversations beyond that. Here I don’t think I’ve had any boosts. Im still wondering why people are in Bluesky over mastodon. Agree w you wrt threads tho
Threads —- 🚨 danger ⚠️ it’s Zuckerberg.. they’ll steal your data and they’ll have an algorithm designed to push ads or accounts that make them money. There’s not an altruistic filament in meta/facebook ‘s DNA
We welcome you..
Threads feels more like a really efficient way to connect with brands trying to sell you something, while bsky is more likely to connect you to, you know, people.
I experienced the same. I have also chosen Bluesky 💙🦋
Welcome!
Curious to know what you dislike about Threads. I don't use it much because only a couple people I care about are on that platform. But I keep hearing that it's more popular than Bluesky.
I think original goal of the starter packs was to lure people here, but in practice their best use is to quickly onboard folks on a topic with a curated group of people who will bring interesting stuff into your feed. Really appreciate the folks who took time to put together a couple of great ones.
And there’s many other benefits to Bluesky! Read more at Bsky.social
