Hey folks, dipping toes into BlueSky and like the idea of it’s starter packs.
I figure I’d make one for must follow curators and creators within the NMS community but I’m somewhat lacking in knowledge of who is out there exactly.
Thought I’d make a post and reach out to hear your own personal suggestions of who you follow or like within the community.
So far I have added
Beeblebum
Kyle Culver
NMSDIscord
RayReynolds
Martin Griffiths
Paul Weir
NMSResources
Ones I want to add but have yet to create a bluesky account… (as far as i know)
Macforaday
Ghost Light
Kanaju
Dirt The Gamer
Who have I overlooked? Apart from all you beautiful people of course, but I don’t feel comfortable adding regular users to the list.
(If you would like to be on the list, let me know 07 )
To those who are unfamiliar with Bluesky, startpacks are a quick way for new users to narrow in on and follow all the important accounts related to whatever their interests might be.
Some Xitter folk have already tried to abuse the system by making “woke” lists that are secretly hiding a BUNCH of extremely fringe and toxic accounts. We can’t have nice things
one glaring oversight/downside to starter packs… You can’t exclude your own account >:(
Some creators have yet to make the switch. I am finding the NMS community split now as some remain on X and others have moved and some are in both places.
Glad to see you making a list.
I think since so many attempts at a new social media come and go and fall into obscurity or crash right out the gate, some folk are probably waiting to see how things go before bothering making an account.
I totally get that.
But Martin Griffiths and Paul Weir are both there; come on Sean!
I have seen several posts from NMS fans on the site trying to summon HelloGames to bluesky with posts.
There is certainly a mass exodus happening so hopefully it’s just a matter of time before more follow.
It’s been a breath of fresh air but one thing I’m already sick of, is everyone talking about how everyone in xitter is freaking out about bluesky. Leave em to it, let’s move on already
I think I’m going to have to leave BlueSky out of sheer embarrassment @ _ @
I made a joke about people crossing a line by making what they said seem way worse, and everyone responded as if I was saying the way worse thing.
I’m actually having a panic attack and might need to go to the hospital again over this so this is what I’ve learned…
The warning about how I probably shouldn’t use Social Media apps from doctors also applies to Bluesky because my biggest trigger is being taken out of context or being misunderstood (goes back to my primary school bullying.). And boy did that just happen on every possible facet. Explaining myself also seemed to only make it worse.
Just a heads up I might be going quiet for a while on here, love you guys but it’s time to detox until I at least get cleared with my chest examination on Dec 10th '
We love you @toddumptious
You are always safe here with us.
Take care of yourself and relax. Take a trip to the shore or find a cozy nook to relax in. Breathe.
Dont let the current nonsense over on BS get to you Todd. Theyre dealing with a bit of an identity crisis at the moment.
Imho due mainly to the demographic of accounts that recently migrated from twitter en masse. It will sort itself out soon.
I’m glad you decided to stay. I look forward to your conversation - I enjoy your flights of fancy - it’s fun to join in with your jokes. You should, perhaps, remember that a lot of what you say only works for clever, imaginative people. If you don’t choose your audience, you risk being misunderstood - and social media is jammed full of people trying to boost their own popularity by claiming to be offended.
