I joined bluesky a year ago to check it out. There wasn't much happening on it at the time, so I got bored of it real quick. It was like the original version of Twitter. The day after the election, I got on X to see what kind of shit show was going on there, but my account was permanently suspended. I was just on there the day before the election with no problem. I rarely posted anything on it, but I have made some left leaning posts in the past. Like, 2 years in the past. Kinda weird to suspend my account right after the election. Whatever, I was never a big X user. So, I opened bluesky to see if it improved at all, and holy shit, it's bopping. It's still like old Twitter. It's open source, no ads at all, and they make it really convenient to find accounts to follow with "starter packs". I gotta say, I love it. There are almost no fake accounts or bots. They get weeded out pretty quick. That's become my new Twitter, and Lemmy is my Reddit.

Are.... are you me?

Because that is my exact experience.

Really? You got booted off of X during the election too?

[–] Timmy_Jizz_Tits@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had an old Twitter account I barely used but I sould still hop on here and there to troll some chuds. After the election that account was booted, yeah.

That's crazy. Wtf. I thought it was just coincidental at first. I guess he cleaned house of all the non-believers.
