Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
Apologies if I already said this, but I think getting rid of bans is going to cause a bunch of people I follow who are outspoken and not white men to finally give up on the app which will also cause me to give up on the app, because them still posting is the main reason I still look at twitter.

Musk says you'll still be able to block DMs, just not public posts. You'll be able to mute someone from your public posts, which means you won't see them but everyone else will (similar to how ignore works on SA).

Enjoying the view when the captain comes up in the PA talking about how climate change is affecting this area, and how as individuals we should try to reduce their carbon footprint.

Conveniently absent from his spiel: how gigantic a carbon footprint cruise ships actually have. :thunk:

If the site is getting hammered with account access getting restricted then it’s never going to replace Twitter. They need to scale up fast.

Scaling up fast is incredibly nontrivial, and bluesky not managing it today is not a death sentence, as long as they can manage it within weeks, before everyone writes them off.

Anyone got a bluesky for me? I wouldn't mind checking the thing out.

Years ago one of my wife’s friends was online dating and talking about the sheer volume of unsolicited dick pics.

I’ve never done any online dating but I’m not sure I’d survive. Very happy to have locked up my wife in-person 11 years ago.

A good friend of mine is coming up on three years with her boyfriend, who she met online in the height of COVID. It can be done!

For my part, it's been so long since I've dated that I'm not sure I could learn how to again. I'm good where I'm at.

I'm probably on the autism spectrum and am a mess of a human being who acts like a moron and doesnt really know how to socialize properly. I met one woman who said "Whoa I want a piece of that stupid mess" and I'm very fortunate because she's awesome.

Apparently me lurching around like a hunchback on our second date was very endearing. So I guess do that if you find yourself single.

Oh well if you can’t find cool people then like half of TFF is already there so you can just follow us instead

A bunch of the big Twitter people are already there so it just depends on what you’re looking for. Ken Klippenstein is a good follow if you want the lefty/politics stuff. Most of the weird Twitter people are reposting all of the stuff the post to Twitter on Bluesky. Mara Wilson is cool? Lots of the Defector staff are on there, but not many other sports people are yet.

So many. If it wasn’t with a fish, it was a group photo and it was the only photo so you have no idea which guy it is. And the bios were so lame like “My friends say I need to get out more. Here I am.” loving lame. One guy had no bio, just two interests: beer and bar.

I just….don’t think I’d ever want to date men if that’s what I have to choose from.

On the plus side, she does have a coffee date with a guy she initially wasn’t interested in but I said looked like he might have potential. His initial text was more than “I like your glasses” which is what she got from someone else.
