Why oh why? I'm not going back to that toxic cesspit called Twitter.

Find me on twitter @derbyhoop and now on Bluesky

Is bluesky like twitter for vegans and they/them types?
No. Its for those that don't want americanised fascism dominating social.media.

QPR has 1700 followers on Bluesky and QPR has 481500 followers on X.
There's zero engagement on Bluesky, it's pointless for organisations like QPR. Bluesky will reduce down to its very core as a liberal, artsy social media club - and absolutely nothing with that. But not great for sporting institutions used to communicating with half a million followers and trying to grow its reach.

Thing is, QPR have never really posted to Blue sky, so no surprise they didn't get many followers

I wonder how many of those 1700 solely use Bluesky though.
It’s also growing rapidly. As others have said, it’s hardly a ballache to keep updated and you can do it at the same time as X and all the rest of it.
Maybe they find the low number embarrassing.
As with everything QPR nowadays, some more info would be nice.

Have a look for some other official clubs on Bluesky. It is totally and utterly moribund. It may be growing for left of centre media and arts, but it is not a sports social media app and it is dead in terms of UK football.
Palace: 4500 followers, last posted 5 months ago. Fulham: never posted Chelsea: 14k, last posted two weeks ago. (they have 26 million followers on X) No official Arsenal account Spurs: 30 k followers, not posted in 13 days (8 million on X) Liverpool haven't posted in four months...
Championship official accounts.. Barely exist. Millwall 600 followers, not posted in six months is pretty indicative.
I'd say QPR posting that it's closing down is actually a very good bit of commnunication in this Bluesky context.

This is how Twitter started though. It was a open media paradise. That’s why he brought it, because it threatened his interests.
I don’t think it will, because the social media age is slowly dying, but if it takes off are they going to crawl back to it?
Overall not really a big issue unless you are in that 1700 number that use it because it’s less toxic.

Yep, I’ve never heard of it either. But then you wouldn’t catch me on twitter or any other social media too.
Me too! This site is my one and only dalliance with 'social media'.
I look at these tech bigwigs like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Whittingham et al and ask a simple question: Would I have a beer with them? If the answer is no because they're a twunt, then voila!
To be honest, I think you, me and others like us who avoid 'anti-social media' are better off for it!
