I tried out this extension to bring my followers from Twitter to Bluesky, and it completely changed my experience

It’s no secret that there’s been a massive exodus of X (formerly Twitter) users for a variety of reasons. Some are political, the main being users seeing the social media site shifting more right-wing in terms of content and rule creation and enforcement, which had slowly been taking effect but has now accelerated since X owner Elon Musk’s appointment to a new position in Donald Trump’s incoming government.

Other reasons are more function-oriented, like declining site stability, changes to features like Block that make the site unsafe to use, the sharp increase of spam bots, the paid blue checkmark epidemic, and more. There are also recent changes to the Terms of Service that subject every user to Twitter’s Grok AI bot scrapping their posts – including art and writing.

This perfect storm of massive deficits has resulted in a staggering exodus to Bluesky, a site founded by one of the former Twitter creators, Jack Dorsey. According to the official Bluesky account, there are currently 19 million users, and that number seems to grow each day.
