Comment on X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

  Omg it's amazing! Treat yourself enough to make an account. Once you see the sign-up wizard, asking you what your interests are and pre-signing you up to communities based on your responses, and it asking you how much content you would like to see containing the keywords "Musk" or "Trump" (importantly, not just All vs. None, but an intermediate Some as well), you'll see what the Threadiverse has been missing!

  After that, it does take quite some getting used to, coming from Lemmy and Reddit, but that's a good thing bc it has so many more CHOICES that you can make, like not just All vs. Subscribed (vs. Local), but categories of communities. Like e.g. you could choose not to subscribe to any political communities so that you won't be deluged with such every single time you log on, and yet all the News and Politics are available in the appropriately named News and Politics - which (it just keeps getting better and better) are also user customizable and shareable as well!

  It's not perfected yet - notifications are sometimes buggy and the search function sucks compared to Lemmy - but it serves my needs 99.9% of the time and for the rest there's my Lemmy alt to fall back to anyway:-).

  So yes indeed, try it and you'll fall in love instantly, finding yourself using it more often until it's your main. You'll see.:-)

  Oh and the developer team adds features practically weekly, plus is super friendly and responsive, so there's that too.:-)
