I wonder which application is going be one to lead the pack, once X/twitter dies?

I’ve signed up for Post, Spoutible, Threads, and Tribel, and waiting here for Bluesky.

At some point there's gotta be buyouts, right? Seems like there's too many to choose from.

I dropped out of Twitter MANY moons ago. I'm really enjoying the pace on Bluesky, as it's not just an overwhelming belching of information. I can actually keep tabs on things. I know that's probably the old fart in me, but one of the biggest reasons I didn't like that platform from very early on.

swampsteve over there.

Do we have a roster yet, like we did for Twitter a million years ago? I think I got everyone by clicking on a few Swampers and following everyone they are following, but I'd hate to miss someone.

That's why I stick to this place, content is manageable, and if there is anything I need to see on Twitter or a streaming platform, you guys let me know. This site is my window into all things pop culture.

Ljam, blunder, San Carlos, Shirley, Sybian

I just copied and pasted. Didn't mean to leave you off. Were you between Shirley and Syb?

To be honest I think names were added in front of me but so long as I stay on the list.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Thu Aug 17, 2023 5:51 pm

I don't currently (and won't for at least a few days) have the time to go through this thread and reorganize the list, but would welcome someone doing it.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Aug 17, 2023 6:16 pm

I think wlu now has an account.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Aug 17, 2023 6:26 pm

govmentchedda wrote: Sun Aug 06, 2023 6:30 pm Phxgators has his, right?

I've got another. I think the list is Duff, AB, cerrano, Bengal, Goodkarma, Johnnie, Steve, wlu, Ljam, blunder, San Carlos, Shirley, pentagonz, turd Ferguson, Enoch?

Sending my newest invite to Duff.

Looks like they've reduced my new invite by a day to every 9 days.

I think this was the order at one time, with Sybian and Rass tacked on, later.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Aug 17, 2023 6:28 pm

I'm going with the assumption that wlu has one since there is an account under his name. I just sent my first code to Ljam.

blunder, San Carlos, Shirley, pentagonz, turd Ferguson, Enoch, Sybian, rass on deck.

Blu-ess-kee, smiling’ at me.
Nothing but blu-ess-kee, that I see!

Thanks Giff!

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Thu Aug 17, 2023 7:37 pm

You guys kill me sometimes. I posted I was giving wlu an invite and he said he received it.

I think I'm too vested in this place sometimes.

probably missed it because the spelling was correct in the thread

So who gets this shiny new one I have...is it blundercrush? I just want to make sure the ducks are in a row.

Sent to the blunder! New list:

San Carlos, Shirley, pentagonz, turd Ferguson, Enoch, Sybian, rass on deck

Elon ending the block function - so…yeah. That’s that. Bluesky hopefully gets more and more of the sports types I follow to get more active.

The mute function is going to stay, right? What are the practical differences between blocking someone and muting someone?

If you block them you can't see them nor they you, I believe, while if you mute them they can still see you.

Muting is better because they think are just screaming into the void and they have no idea.

I don't know that anything will truly kill Twitter. So many news outlets/newsbreakers have no reason to leave their giant audiences behind. Also, this...

I have a code available - should i send to sancarlos?

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Aug 18, 2023 9:23 pm

Hey, bud! Welcome back. Please do.

ETA: I’m in! So the queue is now Shirley, pentagonz, turd Ferguson, Enoch, Sybian, rass

I’m swampsteve. Once I got on I looked up a few swampers whose names I remembered and followed whoever they followed. I think I have most of them now.

cerranoredux · Post by **cerranoredux** » Sat Aug 19, 2023 7:43 am

Got a code and sent it to Shirley. Bobby 5-Sidez is on the clock followed by … turd Ferguson, Enoch, Sybian, rass.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Sat Aug 19, 2023 2:41 pm

I need to think of a name, can't use my Swamp name in case this platform takes off, and can't use my real name, as I can't be trusted not to say something I'll later regret.
