This is incredible. Some of the AI crowd really do think everyone's actively using it, and they're the only ones being honest about their use. Mind boggling. #AntiGenAI #Writersky

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

I've spent over a year writing my current novel, and I'm still not halfway through. That's okay. Stories don't know the calendar. They ask for patience, not speed. I'd rather spend another year writing the right book than rush the wrong one. #Booksky #writer #writerslife #literature #writercommunity

I mentioned a week ago I have an idea that actually has comp titles, and I guess that's a good thing 🤷 But the WIP has none, I doubt anything like it has been tried, hence why I plan to self publish My question? Who's breaking boundaries/genre conventions? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #ReaderSky

Cat sitting and writing don't mix. Ask me (or this tiny terror) how I know this. Good thing she's so cute. #cats #writinglife #blackcat #indieauthor

Author Update - Break Edition 🖊️ Alas I'm in a dearth of engagement, some likes but I'm largely void-shouting Suspect I need scheduled posts for engagement, hence the question - if you are scheduling, what are you using, and how's the experience? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #ReaderSky #BookSky

“The Transit of Venus,” by Shirley Hazzard. #books #booksky #literature #writing #reading Born in 1931, Hazzard was an Australian writer. I’ve been meaning to read this for a while. It’s about two sisters in the post-WW2 world.

Well, to be fair with @toni.bsky.team, it's true that Bluesky wasn't designed this way (catering to only one type of user, regardless of the topic). It's just that users here are mostly seasoned social media users, so they tend to block and move on rather than engage with slop or hate.

I look forward to seeing a giant wave of nazi chuds show up and start posting. Indeed, I promise to make a list when they do, so that everyone around me can observe their glory. What's that? A moderation list isn't for "observing?" Oh, well.

Deludebro wants all the nazis from xitter the way democrats want republican votes.

"We do understand our success and we intend to destroy it. We specifically want to betray the trans community that supported us early on. This is the road to success." He then took a pistol from his pocket and shot his own foot. He assured me that this was normal business practice.

Sounds like Every Democratic Consultant Ever.

"Listening to the other side" = listening to people who tell me I should be burned alive because my romantic inclination is anything but heterosexual. I'd rather not destroy my mental health by entertaining conservative opinions about anything.

I think I was part of wave 2 from twitter and watching the conservatives flounder at the lack of engagement because all they were doing was Facebook rage-baiting was beautiful I cam from a Vtubing platform that was completely dead and rebuilt myself as an indie author in a year #WritingCommunity

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
