Arriving on BlueSky and update on PON socials

[Chris Website URL Visit Site 𝕏 fmcj10 Instagram fmcj10]

I have no plans to abandon Twitter, at all.

As the very first Notts fan and fan account to join Threads, I take great pride in this milestone. I realise that social media isn't going anywhere, but with fans making home to networks such as Blue Sky - I believe it warrants a PON account. This has been encouraged by @ARLukomski, which at first I wasn't all that taken to doing but in hindsight it does seem to be as equal to Threads.

You can follow Pride of Nottingham on Blue Sky here.

I openly acknowledge that the site, and social media channels have been quiet, but this is for personal reasons. I greatly appreciate your understanding. My aim is to ensure Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Threads and Blue Sky are all different in some form.

Which I would also like to mention, that within the new year I plan to open a discord server that will be more for updating the community here on site related downtime, maintenance, articles, news etc.

Due to the hacking incident, and even before that I am anxious about sharing sensitive information outright on social media channels.

i have noticed that a fair amount of fans have mentioned joining blue sky, i think it does make sense to go with the flow and establish differences within the pages. the discord server sounds like a good way to keep us members updated.

I understand the decision, but I doubt anyone would seriously leave Twitter permanently because there will always be more people on Twitter. All it's doing is diluting the support base. The only exception is if Elon Musk continues to ruin Twitter X.com.

Is BlueSky any better than Twitter which I find very toxic sometimes with people openly sharing stupid conspiracy theories, racist language and using the platform for their own political agenda with seemingly no moderation, I very rarely use it now.

yes, it looks like a very positive place to be from reading.

i am not the biggest twitter user but i am considering joining blue sky, if it is how it seems then i might post about notts. i dont on twitter because idiots tend to take what i tweet out of context looks for a quick reaction. i hope those types stick with twitter because it suites them. i do wish that some of the fans making the leap from twitter to blue sky realise that if they did similar with pon and just invested some of their time to joining the conversations here it would have a similar impact to how blue sky has picked up on the notts front.

It’s not bad at the moment, I’ve only had one raging lefty appear on my timeline so far and she was doing my head in, but since I blocked Carol Vorderman it’s been a lot better!

Notts chat has been very civil so far.

I hesitated when @ARLukomski suggested it, but honestly it's a breath of fresh air.

I spent some time in the early hours before I got some sleep reading, and I found myself wanting to create a personal account. I do like Threads, but the engagement on it is iffy at best, and there's a large amount of bot accounts. It's very similar to X in that regard, but Blue Sky I haven't had anything like it.

Plus you can customise your feeds, and restrict what content you see such as nudity and the more full on variety.

The thing is, if people keep at it. A Notts community there will flourish, and I think it's a lot safer than Elon Musks attempt at building himself a global platform which in-visions only what he thinks and sees. He's literally killed Twitter, and is verging on the point of ruining X. There was a bit of a period where Threads blossomed, but it quickly faded, and I just hope Blue Sky isn't one of those scenarios.

BSky is a lot better for blocking and restricting content.

I'm now on Bluesky to talk all things Notts, general sports & support PON on there too.
