Popping my head in here briefly to say; serious bummer to hear that your Twitter got hacked Red. Hope the situation gets resolved with little hassle. Also whoever hacked your account blocked me for spreading the word, so just letting you know to revert that when you get access to your account back.

After thinking it over, I've decided that I'm stepping away from this beyond overpraised looney bin indefinitely. ICYMI, see the thread I posted a few days ago as to why. If you want me, you'll find me on Discord & the other, unironically less toxic social media site/app featuring a flying animal.

Unless things really, REALLY go up sh!t creek, that's where I'll be. Who knows, I could have a change of mind later, but the bird nest is where I stay. If you've read all this & aren't fuming at me having an outlook that goes against the grain, then thanks for your time &, hopefully, understanding.

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I haven't 100% decided, but there's a very high likelihood that I'll either keep my time on here to a minimum (i.e. keeping in touch with mutuals & just avoiding the feed altogether), or just leave outright & only use Twitter as my social media of choice. My apologies, but I much prefer it there.

110

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I'm happy to have given this place an earnest go, but ultimately, it just really isn't for me. In addition, I feel the elitism & toxicity I've witnessed will only grow worse with time. If there's a wave of folk clamouring for 'an alternative to Bluesky' down the road, don't say I didn't warn you.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I had to ask myself several questions these past several days. "Do I like using Bluesky?" "Is scrolling through here worth my precious time?" "Since everything I post here I also post to Twitter, is posting on both worth the extra hassle?" And to all three, my answer's ultimately no.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Another mutual (again, leaving anonymous) also replied to my tweet on the matter with, & I quote; “When something advertises itself as ‘______ but better’, it rarely gets the legs to truly replace it. Real replacements don’t make that their identity.” A statement I agree with wholeheartedly.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I chatted to a mutual a bit ago, who I'll leave anonymous, who said Bluesky's become as bad as Twitter for him, & I told him; "Give it a couple years & people will yearn for an alternative to Bluesky like how it is to Twitter." Says a lot that this place has gotten that bad already for some folk.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

This place is a slog to keep up with, it's a strain on both desktop & mobile, the atmosphere reeks of snobby elitism that's unhealthily elevated out of spite, & it lacks many features to the point of low-key feeling unfinished. Screw 'the better Twitter.', Bluesky just isn't great in general imho.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

And if I'm being honest, mutuals, YTers & artists who've abandoned Twitter outright are the only reason I kept up with Bluesky. And that motivation to even hypothetically step foot in this place is at an all-time low. If you ask me, this place is much more mentally exhausting than Twitter ever was.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I know that may sound hard to believe, but I speak the truth. Seriously feels like I've stumbled into some kinda alternate, backwards reality since it feels like I'm legit the only one who has this viewpoint. And that viewpoint is, simply, Bluesky being a worse Twitter, figuratively & literally.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

And you wanna know something? People yap on & on about how Twitter is filled with politics & upsetting news whilst stating Bluesky is this clean haven for artistic folk. But for me, it's unironically the exact opposite. Nothing but constant politics & negativity here, & art & good vibes on Twitter.

110

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

People claim Twitter is toxic & while they ain't wrong, I feel they're really fooling themselves into claiming Bluesky isn't, especially with the aforementioned elitism. If anything, I legit think, in a vacuum, Bluesky's more toxic. Or at least, has brought out some folk's true, radioactive colors.

110

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

And to some extent, I get it. Eff that PoS Musk & all the 'ay eye' they're forcing down your throat over there. Again, that's something I think Bluesky beats Twitter out in. But ignoring the blatant shortcomings of this place solely because "It ain't Twitter." is a really unhealthy outlook to have.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

And tbh, I just can't bloody stand the snobby & elitist aura this place emanates. The whole "Bluesky is SO much better than Twitter!" & "Lol dead bird app!" crap seriously aggravates me. Because, let's be real, isn't this the kind of behaviour those who entirely left Twitter claimed to wanna avoid?

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Also I'm just gonna be blunt, Bluesky is boring compared to Twitter. Feels like any attempts to drum up memes or savvy posts here come off as hamfisted, forced or just resort to screenshots from Twitter, either as fuel to dunk on it &/or glaze up Bluesky even more. Talk about tapped for creativity.

110

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

"But Bluesky's perfect!" Then explain; - Much more resource/battery intensive on desktop/mobile - Worse image & video quality (SUPER ironic, given all the artists who flocked here) - GIFs being mute MP4s & not actual GIFs - No DMs, drafts, polls or language translator Just to name a few things.

110

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

With that said; I mentioned this on Twitter the other day, but tbh, I genuinely don't get the whole 'the better Twitter.' shtick Bluesky's touted as. I won't deny some upsides like the vastly superior mute & block functions, those I'll agree on. But for the most part I still find Twitter better.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I must also state, & crystal clearly at that, that this thread wasn't sparked by anyone in particular, nor is indirectly calling anyone out. These are thoughts regarding Bluesky that have been brewing in my head for a while now, & I just have to get all this off my chest for my own personal sake.

100

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Quick disclaimer; I've got literally no strong feelings politically aside from eff that turd Tr*mp. Also, genuinely screw anyone who even considers using anything 'ay eye'. I'm just saying this now since I know some folk would think of them as reasons for what I'm about to say when they aren't.

nefariouslombax.bsky.social @nefariouslombax.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

(PLEASE READ THE THREAD FIRST!!!!!) After being here these past few months, I think I've come to an unfortunate yet important realization...

Update: He came around again & has 100%ed the main story & post launch Winter level. We didn't have time to do the other post launch levels but we'll knock those out next time. And yes, he absolutely loved it from start to finish. Great to let a friend experience a peak title!

I went ahead & ordered her. Came out slightly more expensive than expected ($88/£72) but that covers import taxes so it's a trade-off. Gonna have a lil' half-genie to call my own this time next month!

Finished Delicious in Dungeon! Excellent watch from start to finish. Super fun concept with a very nice blend of action & legit funny comedy, served with a truly lovable cast aided by a top notch dub, & topped with Trigger's trademark gorgeous animation. Can't wait for season 2!

That's a wrap on Destroy All Humans!. Platinum #151 overall. ...Tbh, I ultimately didn't like it. Fun premise & writing, but MAN this game has not aged well. Says a lot that turning cheats on feels like the intended way to play. Super rough pop-in & prone to crashing too.

When a mutual makes a post I disagree with it's because they are multifaceted like a precious diamond, each side presenting a different but equally beautiful face. When a rando makes a post I disagree with it's because they're an intellectual microbe and should be executed on live television.

Happy #PortfolioDay!! I'm Cravat, I'm lucky enough to be a freelance artist and if I don't shade with black I WILL die

Fanart for the game Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. It's a picture of Lynne, Missile, Sissel and the black cat centred by a circle in the middle. Lynne is looking off to the side cautiously while holding a happy Missile, and Sissel smiles affectionately at the cat on his shoulder. The background is a green gradient, and there are silhouettes of Jowd and Cabanela standing on some construction over a cityscape at the bottom. At the top is the silhouette of a crane, and a giant desk lamp looming over Lynne, Sissel, Missile and the cat. The picture is cel-shades with black.

Fanart of 2B from Nier Automata. The background is solid BRIGHT yellow, and 2B is in an action pose with her sword held back behind her head as if she's about to swing it forward. Her head is framed by a black circle. Pod 042 is behind her also.
The whole picture is cel-shades with black.

Fanart of Kat from Gravity Rush. She's looking at the camera with a neutral expression as she floats in the sky. The city is upside-down behind her, and the sky is a dark teal colour. An apple floats in the foreground. The whole picture is cel-shaded with solid black.

Fanartist of Hatsune Miku as she appears jn Fortnite. She's looking wearily off to the side as she handles a gun, the Surgfire SMG from the game. There is text in Japanese behind her in pink, obscured by her body, that reads "フォートナイトへようこそミク" (welcome to fortnite, Miku). In the background, Teto is panicking on a glider coming from the battle bus. The whole image is cel-shaded with black.

I get Adobe's a PoS company & all, but dogging on them so much that they straight up leave Bluesky mere hours after their first post really isn't a good look imo. And folk still unironically claim this place is less toxic than other social medias? Seems like the opposite if you ask me, just saying.
