I spend maybe 5 mins a day tops on social media(1)... I'm not particularly invested in Bluesky, but I found it to be the polar opposite of Twitter. It's like everyone who quit the twitter band wagon just went to the twitter clone, as a middle finger move. It's a ying and yang. I'm still on Twitter, because some people just haven't moved on and I still find their content valid. I vomit a little if I happen to click the sidebar and I want to close my account nearly every visit. I honestly hang by a thread just because some accounts there don't offer an alternative (and Musk removed reading content unauthenticated). I'm not particularly invested in Mastodon, but I must say that it is where I found the best value per minute. It feels like the natural follow up to Google+. I find it the most 'balanced' between Bluesky and Twitter. [1] HN excluded, I spend many 5' sessions a day here...

You should direct some of these comments to the accounts you're following on Twitter. I assume there's some convenient way to cross-post?

  You can change every link to Twitter from x.com/... To xcancel.com/... Works well usually

You'd be surprised how little impact getting rid of all social media, including Twitter, really has on your life. Just delete it.

I find Bluesky better but I've had to be pretty aggressive about blocking centre-left types. I don't even disagree with most of what they're complaining about, after being away from twitter for years that whole style of discourse is just extremely unpalatable. Def get the impression they're driving people away who were enjoying bluesky previously, there's just so much of them on the feeds atm.
