I think it's time for the big switch.
My twitter feed is vile at the moment.
Anyone else switching over? |  |

No chance of buying those Ellerslie Road houses up then. |
We should dig down beneath them.
No team wants to go to a subterranean lair on a cold Tuesday night in February. |  | | |

The club's official account and the retro QPR site are now on there.
That's pretty much all I need. |  | | |

How do social media sites political leanings compare? Yesterday I did a poll on all the platforms I'm on (barring TikTok) the results when listed side by side are fascinating...
As they're self-selecting polls, this is less about the absolute vote and more about the relative… Show more
Do you consider your politics leftish, rightish or centre-ish?

I've had the opposite experience so far. I follow QPR, football, rugby league, London history, photography and a few mates. And I get QPR, football, rugby league, London history, photography and a few mates. | | | |

If you don’t follow them then you don’t see them.
I don’t follow them, so I don’t see them.
Whereas Twitter push them onto me. | | | |

All this echo chamber, left-leaning stuff makes it sound like people only use social media for politics. I mean, most of us don't right? We're there to follow the things that actually interest us? |  |

On Twitter, I was getting halfwits like Darren Grimes and Laurence Fox shoved down my throat on a daily basis.
Great, so I'll block them. Unfortunately, I cannot mute or block their 500k followers and their endless Union Jack AI images and retweets.
It was an endless stream of poison, designed to whip up other halfwits.
So far on Bluesky, I've seen book reviews, retro football videos and a smidgen of world news.
It's absolute fcking bliss. | | | |

That's the point with the platform it's decentralised anyone can build an algorithm , or their own version of it. Jack Dorsey the original creator of Twitter set it up for those purposes but left because he disagreed with the introduction of moderation and safety tools as like Musk he has become a free speech absolutist | | | |

Musk says he wants free-speech but doesn't. You only have to look at some of the threats he tweets to people/organisations or countries he doesn't agree with. | |

You're welcome 😉
It's not a perfect solution to making your feed purely QPR related because obviously everyone posts about other things too, but it was a good way to follow match related comment during and after the game on Saturday |  | | |

All these people who say, "I don't do politics", forget that politics will do you regardless.
Sure, I get you want to reduce the noise to zero. That won't happen, though.
For example, when the government regulator comes into force for football, you know it will fall short, and then the politics will start, and so on.
I think it's fine to reduce the noise of politics, but remember that sticking your head in the ground is still just doing that while the world still crashes into you.
What I am hoping bluesky will do is allow me to separate out blatant political threads from other ones like football; it won't eliminate politics. Now, you may say it does this already, but I want that service sustained. As we have seen with Twitter, things change when the rich snaffle it up. | |
