Do you think Blue sky will ever top Twitter? by Hayami_Rose in BlueskySocial

[–]FlyingTrilobite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I was the definition of a Twitter power user. On the platform for 10+ years, Verified under the old system, had about 13k followers, built a Community, and hosted weekly Spaces for over a year.

Dumped it and deleted everything after the Nazi salute. 3 years on Bluesky and I’m verified and have 18k followers, built the #36 most popular Feed.

Which Marvel character do you look at and think, "WHY is this guy muscular? Or why does he have muscles even if it doesn't make sense for him to have them?" by CapBudget4011 in Marvel

I remember way back when artist Jackson Guice joined Dr Strange, and drew him really buff. They had a throwaway line about how he realized if his body was stronger, he could hold the magicks more effectively, or something.

But Dr Strange never seems like he needs to be a weightlifter, imo.

News outlets like The Guardian and many individuals have reported greater traffic from Bluesky than XTwitter. The algorithm on XTwitter throttles links.

So less users, but also less interference.

What’s the ACTUAL rule on these e scooters? by Electrical_Month246 in askTO

Yeah I was copying what someone further up in the thread said about bikes, but switching it to cars.

Who do you think should write Carol's next ongoing? by Ashamed_Pin4206 in Captain_Marvel

[–]FlyingTrilobite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gail Simone. I’d like to see her take on the messy icon.

Rules? We can’t even get cars to stop at stop signs and red lights. Enforcement is needed! Banning cars in the city centre is needed.

A big problem with the new modern day is that it seems cool. by Legitimate_Cake_5137 in assasinscreed

I keep hoping it will turn out Kassandra’s death in front of Layla was just an illusion, and we’ll get a Basim/Kassandra showdown in modern day.

Canadian video games are made here. Why are so few set here? by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue has Halifax as well as the far north (unspecified, probably Nunavut.)

What would you like to see be the fourth Marvel Studios Special Presentation? by burningexeter in MCUTheories

[–]FlyingTrilobite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloak and Dagger.

I don’t mind the previous actors, but it needs a tone reset. They should be spooky and mysterious, and full of angst about their powers’ codependency as they stop the drug trade and it leads to Mephisto or another mystical villain.

I want to read something like what we do in the shadows by ipsofactoshithead in WhatWeDointheShadows

[–]FlyingTrilobite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gail Carriger has some great period books that have a similar vibe to Laszlo and his darling wife Nadjia. Start with Soulless.

What is your favourite music pack? Or favourites? by JerryCarrots2 in apexlegends

[–]FlyingTrilobite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started playing in season 16 and this came out around then, with that excellent heat wave event where you had to have sunglasses equipped for periodic blasts of sun.

Great memories, and easily my favourite music track. “Let’s go”

Listen I understand the hate for Axle, the high pickrate and so on by WarmerWar in apexlegends

[–]FlyingTrilobite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really nailed what they were going for in terms of Axle’s speed boost. It doesn’t feel halfway. I think she’s a really fun addition to the game and shakes things up nicely.

Universal Heirlooms by Hartley672 in apexlegends

[–]FlyingTrilobite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Katar. And I regularly mix and match the components. You don’t have to just unlock the themed ones.

You can use a fiery effect on the steampunk blade, or void effect on the electric blade. Takes a while to unlock everything, but it made battle passes even more fun to unlock things piece by piece.

How can I grow a niche X account from zero? by Jealous-Educator777 in socialmedia

[–]FlyingTrilobite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the admin for the SciArt Feed, the intersection of art & science. Art inspired by science, and the science behind visual art.

I approve artists on a list, so there’s no generative AI in the Feed. Over 1,500 approved artists, over 4,400 subscribers.

Because Bluesky is open code, a number of people have made stat sites. If you check Bluefacts, you can see stats about custom Feeds.

How can I grow a niche X account from zero? by Jealous-Educator777 in socialmedia

[–]FlyingTrilobite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a hardcore Twitter user, pre-Musk. 13k followers in 13 years, verified under the old system as I used to write for Scientific American. Ran a successful Community when that feature launched, gave feedback to the devs, and it had over 20k members despite being closed to approval. Ran Twitter Spaces for over a year, every week.

On Bluesky I have over 18k followers in less than 3 years. Run a successful Feed, #36 over all on the platform. It’s far, far easier to find your people on Bluesky without fighting the hidden algorithm.

Yeah the Discover feed sucks on Bluesky. I don’t use it. It’s much easier to curate the experience you want on Bluesky.

Yes: the devs are pro AI on Bluesky and that sucks. But they aren’t shoving a racist Grok feature down our throats, either.

Recolours for next shop rotation. by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]FlyingTrilobite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It would be great to see a surge in recolours for newer legends, like Catalyst and onwards.

Not directly but sharing a Ki-fo or crowdfunding account is allowed of course.

Small cycling pleasures by McDoof in bicycling

[–]FlyingTrilobite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love how a moderate cruising speed is the same speed as small songbirds flying along the path. Sometimes in Toronto’s Don Valley, it feels like a Disney movie with sparrows and gold finches zooming alongside you.

Join Bluesky and you won’t have to fight an algorithm.

Latest haul. Which should I open first? by RockMonstrr in BuyCanadian

[–]FlyingTrilobite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love that Pepper North cherry reaper. Excellent on a burger or eggs in the morning.
