Buyer beware.
All the people that sad X users have blocked will be able to get at least one post in again.
For a particular poster on here it'll take quite awhile to re-ban us all.

Think this is different, I know a few who joined threads but most including myself couldn't be arsed.I remember a year or two ago when lots of people set up new accounts on Threads. I did the same, but then never actually used it. Have set up a Bluesky account too so I don’t feel left out (bluemoonmcfc.bsky.social for anyone interested), but it will probably end up being the same. I just don’t have the time or inclination to be continually checking two identical platforms (I still have a BM Facebook account too that never gets used). Presumably there will be an app to allow you to post to both simultaneously, but it all seems like a bit of a faff. I already get my fill of societal division and loathing on here as it is! Joking aside, it’ll be interesting to see what those who have invested in Twitter blue ticks do now though.
Another Social media outlet owned by facebook wasn't nedded, already using insta and whatsapp so Threads seemed pointless and just meant more shite being linked I wouldn't want (my 4 year unused fb account infests my insta at times).
being independant of the other may help it imho actually gain popularity.

Don't bring him down.
No. FB is a cesspit and if I'm honest Bluemoon has it's moments (match thread for one) and that's between people that have broadly the same opinions.

I think the other advantage is with it being a new platform you can get your blocking in early - bye bye Miguel.

There seems to have been a big push yesterday led by Ahsan to create a City community on there. Looks like it's working.I remember a year or two ago when lots of people set up new accounts on Threads. I did the same, but then never actually used it.

I’ve set up an account for Blue Moon Podcast over there: https://bsky.app/profile/bluemoonpodcast.bsky.social
For those asking if it will be less of a toxic place than Twitter/X, it remains to be seen. However, for accounts like the podcast’s, if a migration happens then there will be some benefits…
Twitter/X is not a level playing field. Since Musk’s takeover, he controls the narrative - accounts from the far right are given undue prominence through promotion and are pushed into feeds, especially of those who don’t follow them, and the removal of the block means you can’t hide content you don’t want to see as easily.
For the podcast, tweets with external links are suppressed. This means tweets that link to new episodes or to the Patreon are actively given less space than tweets that don’t contain links or that use Musk’s premium feature to promote their content.
Whether or not the atmosphere on Blue Sky will end up being different will remain to be seen. But if it helps us promote shows to City fans, then it will be a good thing if a lot of people set up elsewhere.
I’d much rather have a smaller audience there that engages with the podcast, than a larger one that can’t see new posts easily.

I'm not promoting this app, but i'm also in the process of removing myself from X found this really useful to delete everything before deleting my account... https://redact.dev/
