Yes the following feed was pretty much the same though the adverts got dodgier and the replies nastier so the worst of twitter was seeping through.
Bluesky is having a bit of a run at the moment thanks to Musk being so happy to amplify lies during both the UK and US election and now more official accounts like the Guardian are following. Nothing to do with not respecting election results or any other nonsense.
Creative and sports accounts are now showing up in greater number to join the journalists and political accounts. MPs were slower than political analysts but they are showing up now as well including the new leader of the opposition.

including the new leader of the opposition. The account that appeared a couple of days ago was a fake account, as was the Jenrick account that commented on it (both have now gone from the platform). There is obviously a risk at the moment that opportunists are grabbing accounts. Bluesky at the moment has no 'verification' process so it pays to be cautious around new accounts. But then, this is not much different to X where anyone with some cash can pretend to be anyone and get a blue tick.

I only use the "Following" Twitter feed (I refuse to call it 'X', I didn't join that) and have no problems, apart from the infernal adverts. I ignore most of them unless they are too persistent and annoying, in which case I block them. I don't read or engage in anything political or contentious and intend to keep it that way. I can't be bothered with Instagram or Facebook, although I'm on both. Sadly, though, most of the people I follow(ed) have emigrated to Threads or Bluesky (although they do sneak back to Twitter every so often).
