Why would they teach us that, when it's emphatically not in their interests to do so?
Don't knock it till you've tried it ...

If ever there were a gauntlet being thrown down, that was it.

Only if I get to wear the gold chains, leisure suit, and chest hair wig.
I tried to read through the thread, but it mostly drifted to politics soon. I just wanted to comment, that atm the way to block a bsky.social handle when using a verified domain is to simply add another account that takes over the handle. Then direct people to the main account.

I visited the BlueSky page and it's loaded with politics. I noped out of there. Don't need more cesspool in my life.

Pick and choose who you follow.
Although i have encountered some very roughly but coldhearted democrats who hate trump. The colourful language is something i cannot repeat on here.

It's like X, but by someone else. To know more, Google is your friend.

If, like many people, you're departing Twitter (yes, Twitter) and you're finding your new home at Bluesky, you can now find us there too:
XenForo - Compelling Community Platform (@xenforo.com)
There is no better platform upon which to grow your community. Engage your customers with the premium community experience. Take advantage of our unrivaled reliability, flexible deployment and data security. https://xenforo.combsky.app
Yeah looks like Xenforo is not active on X or Bluesky, not that I would ever have seen them on Bluesky had I not seen this thread.
Anyone leaving TwitterX for another platform is leaving one of the biggest platforms in the world. Why any business would want to give up such a large audience is just sheer bluster and not good business.
That said if you read the first post it can be interpreted in a number of ways and I'm not sure Xenforo left X because they did not delete their account. T
With some of the strong offerings that Xenforo has, especially their cloud service, a one click installation, I think bringing it before a large audience on X would only be beneficial for growth.
My motto on X is to keep it all business, ignore any hard feelings and get on with the next post. Trolls can only be trolls if you interact with them, the benefits of X far outweigh any negatives especially since X is one of the only platforms with a truly world wide reach.
PS. The number one interaction on my forum is people posting X posts for discussion. More threads are started using X posts than any other way making X an integral part of the site. I don't think I have ever had a Bluesky post, we have a number of YouTube and TikTok threads but the X interactions are hundreds of times bigger than all other social media interactions combined.
Don't give up what works!
