HOW TO TRANSITION FROM TWITTER TO BLUESKY!! (Another image because alt text couldn’t fit it all)

TIPS FOR MOVING FROM XITTER TO BLUESKY
Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets-recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they'll know what you are about and might follow back.
Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering ( Lenny face)   
Find your friends using a tool like skeet. labnotes.org or Sky Follower Bridge.
Not perfect, but they'll find the majority of the people you were following.
Turn on "show posts from my feeds" in Settings > Home Feed Preferences.
This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a "best of").
Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed. I have mine set to 2 likes
I have mine set to 2 likes, so if any reply gets more than 2 likes, it shows up on my feed. This has nothing to do with replies to your own posts, you'll see those anyway in your notifications.
Block often. Don't interact with trolls, don't quote dunk, comment, nothing.
Let them rot in silence, just block them. This is the Bsky way.
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. Try more regular posts or quotes! (quotes do trigger like notifications).
It takes fime to rebuild, and that is fine, but the best time to do it is right now.
Twitter is only gonna get worse.With only 10% of the followers in Bsky, most of us end up having twice as many interactions. Fewer bots, more people who care, no more playing for a racist algorithm

And like, sure, I don’t mind having some spirited discussion around taxation and the role of the government in various parts of life. Fine. But that’s never the actual views they want to debate. Which views? Oh…you know the ones.

Thrilled to announce that my boomer parents are once again headed to their annual Rocky Horror rewatch, as they have done every year since I turned 14. Yes, this means I saw Rocky Horror for the first time with my parents. Yes, that might be part of the reason I'm Like This.

It’s also art therapy in its homey way

I for one thought it was bold of Trump to do an extended dance remix of John Cage's 4'33" tonight. It seems to have gone over everyone's head, but then again most avant-garde art does.

if you behave like a cretin you will get shoved in the blockhole, users do not put up with it and the calculus is very clear that your opinion needs to be considered and presented well or you get the hole. this is a great dynamic and it doesn’t create groupthink, it incentivizes thoughtfulness
