I'm on there now as chants.bsky.social. Haven't found very many people to follow on there, idk.

"I joined ello but lord only knows when I was last on it or if the account still exists"
the app still exists, so I assume the network does (I think I wound up deleting it, but I would occasionaly open it up as recently as a year ago and see just random images). Confusingly Ello is also now the name of a more high profile reading app that has nothing to do with old Ello.

If anyone wants to follow me on there I’m matthewbalaam.bsky.social - I won’t post much except the odd link to a radioshow or gig probably.

will do ASAP, I'm stuck somewhere else right now. are you easy to find on Twitter?

yeah I'm @smashedmcdouble
or I can just ilxmail you if yours works josh
― 龜, Thursday, 3 August 2023 15:07 (one year ago)
that would be great, thanks! I am pretty sure my Gmail address is in my profile.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 3 August 2023 15:37 (one year ago)
So jklein04 AT gmail.com. Thanks again! (Looks like I couldn't DM you on twitter if I wanted to without twitter blue)
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 3 August 2023 15:57 (one year ago)
I just used the ilxmail interface
― 龜, Thursday, 3 August 2023 15:57 (one year ago)
Got it, thanks! Will start porting over twitter peeps and whatnot later today. Now I need to figure out how to change my ilxmail, lol.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 3 August 2023 17:42 (one year ago)
yeah i don't want to post mine here because you're nominally repsonsible for who you invite and people get banned if their invites misbehave but i have a few. ilxmail me if you need one.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Thursday, 3 August 2023 17:53 (one year ago)
I'm not even sure how my ilxmail works. Is that just the address I used to originally sign up/register? My login ID? How do I change that without re-registering?

No, that didn't do it. When I send an email (to myself) through that portal, by clicking on my screen name, it just sends to my original login ID, which is an old email address. But when I try to change that old login address to a new login address, my current email, it logs me out, because it no longer matches the one associated with the password. Hmm.

who do we follow on bluesky?

everybody cool follows tracerhand iirc

thats right
― mookieproof, Saturday, 5 August 2023 01:08 (one year ago)
I'm not nominally responsible enough to give a fuck about this platform or any of the people on it, anything online where you need invites to access it is for wankers, apart from private torrent sites - I don't make the rules.
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 5 August 2023 01:44 (one year ago)
I'd never lower myself to ask for a fucking invite code and then get precious about who you are going to give them to. Ohh can't have any riff raff here. It's a site for snobby supercilious wankers - lol, even worse than this one!
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 5 August 2023 01:51 (one year ago)
aww
― mookieproof, Saturday, 5 August 2023 02:15 (one year ago)
Haha, funny posts. To be fair to them though, it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of infrastructure for a site like Twitter/Bluesky to run – as it is whenever there is a flood of new people the site starts to stop loading posts etc.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 5 August 2023 08:22 (one year ago)
Yeah, it is notably sluggish at the best of times.
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Saturday, 5 August 2023 12:13 (one year ago)
Lotta placeholder accounts there right now with virtually no activity (including Tracer's, lol). I often can't tell if they are squatters trying to steal/scam the handle or legit mirrors of their twitter accounts.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 August 2023 14:43 (one year ago)
I don't know anything about this app other than I agree it is pronounced like brewski

also need to settle on my bio, something like "Flâneur. Appreciator of gin. #fuck2017."
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 5 August 2023 16:02 (one year ago)
ok, so a few months back i added my email to the waiting list.i got my code today so signed up.how is it within a few hours i have several followers that i have no connection with !? i mean, i have done no promo.is there something about this place that i have yet to understand, or is it cos the first thing i did was follow ned ?!
― mark e, Sunday, 6 August 2023 20:00 (one year ago)
There's probably a bunch of possibilities, but most likely is that someone from those accounts is just friending other people's follower list. It's a little less mysterious when you follow an account that posts about something specific, like if you follow a Nat'l Park account and suddenly you have five new follower accounts that are into parks, travel, etc.
― ヽ(´ー`)┌ (CompuPost), Sunday, 6 August 2023 20:32 (one year ago)
Did you post yet? There are a bunch of feeds of peoples first posts that real users glance at. If you didn’t post it’s probably just bots. The network is small enough that there are still accounts that follow spam every newly created account.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 7 August 2023 00:42 (one year ago)
A super kind ilxor threw me an invite—right here on The Aorta, WXOR! But a scammy scammer stoled it afores i could snag it, and ay, no way i’m axing y’all again. I can’t do with that nonsense and guilt.But someday I’ll git there, an if i ask to follow u, pls folla back ha

centrist melts complaining on bsky abt ppl being mean on bsky just feel like ppl who have humiliation kinks (which i think is core to centrism tbh, like if "both sides" are yelling at me that means i have good politics)― petey, pablo & mary (m bison)

fuck off, my humiliation kink is leftist praxis
no one ever answers this question, either on Bsky or, apparently, in this very thread.― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm)

i didn't answer the question because i didn't check this thread for a week lol
ok i am an old and i didn't know you could switch between "popular with friends" and "following". i like bsky but sometimes it feels like the linux of social networking sites.

I wish you could mute/block accounts based on having a blue wave emoji in their profile, then it would be perfect.

using a social media platform like Twitter/Bluesky during a televised sporting event that many people are watching is one of the truly great uses of a platform like this ... *if* there are enough sports people on it.
if Bluesky is doing something to keep sports fans away, that's a mistake. they should be actively courting the leagues, writers/personalities, meme accounts, etc.
i guarantee you there are millions of people who would like to bail on Twitter but don't because of the sports presence.
