If you’re on kinky twitter, you have probably noticed a large exodus from happen. This is directly because of who won the US election (which is a tragedy). And Elon is his bedfellow.
They are not kind to gays, especially kinky gays. The conservatives are on a crusade, as witnessed by the protests at Drag Queen readings at local libraries. Now, with T**** in charge, things will likely spiral out of control, and they will be looking for “inappropriate” content and try to harass and expose it wherever they can… and I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon is all too happy to help them.
So I, and many, many others are leaving twitter (and even deleting content there, as I will be in the coming weeks) and heading to Bluesky. Unlike Threads and Tumblr, Bluesky allows adult content, as long as you set up your account that way (see second tip in the graphic below, and be prepared to label your content when posting). Another benefit to moving (aside from screwing over Elon) is Bluesky is entirely ad free, which makes for much better scrolling. I’m happy to say a lot of kinky people are moving over there, so you’ll have plenty of company! It’s been growing by leaps and bounds.
Found a guide to help people, and posting my own link too. I do feel I’ll continue the blog for now, as it is a bit insulated. But if things get really bad, there is a chance I may have to pause and/or delete it.
One other perk that has recently come up: you are able to automatically block any person that identifies as MAGA (or any other group you’d like to block). Once you get to Bluesky, search MAGA and look for this list:
To block it, you have to (unintuitively) click the Subscribe button. Don’t worry, you won’t actually subscribe… a dropdown menu will appear, and the option to Block accounts will appear, as seen below.
The greater lesson here is enjoy everything while you can, because you never know when things will change. I’ll still be here at the blog for now, but in terms of socials, you can now find me here! I already have over 200 followers and growing!
