It is so wild how much engagement @aftermath.site gets on here compared to Twitter and threads. The high percentage of developer types and lefties absolutely contributes to this.

The other bad place is mostly Nazis and bots now. Truly a wasteland.

I’m guessing other sites have too much noise for your signal to punch through. At any rate I’m glad youse are here

I also get more engagement on photos here compared to Twitter. Never tried posting them on threads though.

As a CM I'm really thinking bsky is a place more and more artists/devs/small brands need to be on because even though it's smaller, it has that word of mouth element where people are actually sharing the shit they like with other people who like it. what a concept

One of the few sites I still read. Thank you all for the work you do.

And the lack of bots! I have seen twitch streamers who have said they got more engagement here than they would ever on twitter/threads.

it’s a lovely site, gita

Just the tweet about the Halo article and the Gamers™️ doing their usual nonsense really just encapsulates the difference between here and 𝕏, the everything app

Probably also because you aren't being buried by an algorithm pushing Nazi & Andrew Tate shit here in Bluesky-land.
