thank you for a really amazing year! so many amazing opportunities and so many wonderful collaborations here's a little highlight reel of just a few of the things I had the pleasure of working on in 2025 ✨

Bsky can be hard for people to get started on because it doesn't spoon feed you engaging rage bait and it's entirely what you make it. Take control of what you're seeing. Cultivate your feeds. Remember when it gets "boring" that's okay because then you sign off and do better things with your time.

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky

Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back.

Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service

Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money!

Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow.

Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way.

Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages
Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts.

Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work).

Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting

It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

#artvsartist2025 I never did this before because I get self conscious But then i started my idgaf and have fun era and all is good A lot of good projects, fun collabs, work and new people who supported me and my craft this year and I couldn't be more grateful. Things are never easy but I survived

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Every. Single. Disabled. Artist. I. KNOW. and I tend to know a fair number of them seeing as I do disability justice work and am myself multiply disabled -- abhors Generative AI. As do I. Disabled work is already DEEPLY devalued and disregard. We are exploited endlessly. Do NOT use Gen AI. PERIOD.

Currently being called ableist on Threads for my opposition to Generative AI because evidently stealing from disabled artists and authors is Actually Good when it's done by socialists because all property is bad and theft is Only Bad when corporations do it. 🤦
