Not-So-Friendly Bluesky


Sorry for not uploading any new comics on this blog. I was busy with reuploading them on my new Bluesky account. You might want to check it out here.

While Bluesky is a great alternative to Twitter X, it may not be as great as you think. Given that it was made by Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, you can expect things in Bluesky to become toxic within the first year after opening its doors to the public. Especially when there's a rivalry between right-wing trolls and left-wing trolls, and Bluesky users have been told to block both of them.

Then there's the sharing of conspiracy theories that some Bluesky users do not want to hear. This results in the Bluesky user who shares conspiracy theories about the European Union's nefarious plans to weaponize AI getting blocked by other Bluesky users, even though this conspiracy theory is one that is anti-AI. This was the mistake that I made that got me blocked by a few Bluesky users. If you want to have a good and happy experience on Bluesky, please avoid making the mistakes that I made when I started jumping on the Bluesky bandwagon.

So if you think Bluesky is worse than X, Gettr, or Gab, the sad truth is, we are running out of choices. Unless you decide to jump on the Nostr bandwagon, but it will not be the same as jumping on the Bluesky bandwagon, though.
