I highly support this as I myself have moved from the hostile cesspool that is Twitter/X and moved to BlueSky instead, and I would absolutely love to link my account to my profile.
I also feel like Twitter/X should be removed entirely from being added to profiles and groups because as I said, it’s a complete cesspool and just plain toxic as its fillled with disgusting views such as, homophobia/transphobia, racism, sexism and so much more and I don’t think we should be redirecting users to a site that hosts such content with those views.
Around 80% of the people I follow moved to BlueSky entirely, and around 40% deactivated their Twitter accounts (which I might follow suit) upon abandoning them. Having BlueSky as an alternative would help me completely abandon Twitter as I think it is more toxic to be on there. I rarely even touch Twitter now that BlueSky has all of my favourite creators on it and more are doing the same.
I do think that adding BlueSky is a good idea outside of the whole Twitter thing happening. It gives an extra social link that is very popular and growing way bigger with every passing day.
Yeah same, set that up the other day for a few of my accounts.
Even if Roblox never supports the fediverse, Bluesky support will be helpful for people that are using fedi still. Although saying that, I’ve already noticed that it doesn’t mirror my posts with polls in them and it’s heavily truncated.
This is exactly what people also said about Threads and it ended up dying after a month.
100 MILLION signed up for Threads in the first 5 days (or less) since its release and it still managed to die. Bluesky is no exception here. Let’s be real.
I don’t think that is huge or even comparable to Twitter, they probably get 20x (or higher) the amount of posts per second Bluesky gets. I don’t have the exact stats so excuse me if I’m wrong but like I said this is nothing compared to Twitter.
Probably also worth observing that Twitter itself mostly just derives it’s legitimacy from news and politics events due to the way the platform is set up. Instagram still eats them for lunch quantitatively, but we don’t talk about Twitter being DOA.
Realistically it isn’t about user count. It basically doesn’t count for anything unless you’re an investor or site engineer - the more relevant stats is how engaging it is for you personally. Some communities live in different places on the internet and that diversity of location is OK - nobody needs to be biggest.
Bluesky is so much better and has more security than twitter. Bluesky has extensive moderation options for users to keep safe and only see the content they want to see in their feed.
Bluesky and Threads on Roblox would be amazing! I’m actually really tired of Twitter being on our only option when it comes to text-based social media.
The more options that we have, the bigger our reach to new users gets.
I agree but Bluesky is still not that big to deserve the attention of Roblox engineers. Let time judge, let’s see how it will do in a year. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you’re wrong, but I doubt this platform will make it very far. Many people tried and failed like I said with Threads, this story will be no different.
Threads died because of its lack of features and design flaws, which made it inferior to Twitter. BlueSky focused on improving Twitter’s features, and I see more and more Twitter users move to BlueSky and even praise it for being a much better experience. I see more and more people on my followed move to BlueSky since people interact with others a lot more than before.
I also think that trying to argue against adding it is quite weird. I feel that people should have more freedom to choose between Twitter and BlueSky. It’s not like we want Roblox to remove Twitter as an option, but to add BlueSky and Threads as well. I think that BlueSky has more of a chance to be added compared to Threads since I see a lot of big creators going to it
I do honestly believe that this is a great Idea for people that like bluesky. As I see no reason not to add it. To me it was honestly nice to see competition for big companies like X/Twitter. Even big creators like MaximumADHD move to bluesky.
I’ll try not biased or political. Since I am NOT a big fan of Twitter, and that most people are switching in spite of Elon (Who I am also not a fan of). Bluesky did give me a terrible first impression. I’d say that Twitter is a better option for a lot of people. My first time ever on bluesky, which I am not a fan of art but my whole feed was just that. Even after using not interested and blocked dozens of people, my whole feed was still only art. I guess it somehow made my feed worse as even though I set my account age to under 18. I still got some explicit art. I got people with innapropriate username’s to follow me (one with the n word ER LITERALLY as their name). I may try it again soon as I noticed that about 60% of my followers were banned, and I joined as a crap ton of people were moving to bluesky.
I’d say I’ve been on twitter about 4 years and went about a years without seeing anything super explicit. It was pretty easy to get my feed which mainly consist of cats, animals, and Roblox to be good.
but to be for real I may try bluesky when more of my following move to it.
i prefer twitter, you can still find ur beliefs on twitter, i dont understand why we gotta add a social media on roblox out of political reasons, plus twitter is far more larger and efficient than bluesky, i dont see any worth at putting the effort
