South Korea realizing that turning themselves into a giant American military base for 70+ years was a bad idea

as you know I will be active on bsky, I think there are some misconceptions, so here are my thoughts: I've been there on and off for the past few years since we as artists have gotten scared with this platform and I can tell you, it is active and people are still using it to this day and I've seen accounts grow slowly to tens of thousands of followers and many who exclusively use bsky so it has become a permanent place more and more each time we "panic". it's not becoming a ghost town every time whenever I post I get reactions, comments and engagements. while I'm not suddenly viral with tens of thousands of likes, it's not like the new algo here on X is gonna give that kinda boost anymore, bsky gives a steady consistent engagement as you build your following as for going there and finding there isn't content due to a lack of centralized algorithm - follow all your fav creators who have accounts there, (there is also a sky bridge extension tool that makes it easy to find accounts who you are following on X), then make use of the feeds, there are basic functional algorithms, namely after following a lot of your fav accounts, the easiest is Discover, and Popular with Friends by default and next find the custom feed called For You people have been posting it a lot, and pin it to your home feeds. there are also countless custom feeds you can follow and pin. and u can even make your own that follows certain hashtags etc. and we also have starter packs like the one I have you can find on my profile that provides you with a curated group of cool accounts to follow, personally I've been collecting anime artists in my pack. you can also still create lists of accounts and you can view a feed of these groupings of accounts you want to keep an eye on and yes, pin it to home feed as well. yes there's even comedians and shit posters who you can follow and curate your basic algorithm feeds to be as you need since bsky is more and more active beyond your imagination it is actually viable to start using it and working on a transition. I know I'll still be here on x but as my acc on bsky grows and becomes viable I will be stepping more and more over only issue is you have to add suggestive or nudity filters and labels there, but people viewing that content will likely have turned off the filter and see your art fine with a less algorithmic experience it also means you can freely tweet anything you like, use hashtags, links, and post and repost often to make use of chronological recency freely so I do encourage you to bsky anyway, it's remaining viable at least as a parallel to use or as an alt wip thoughts account etc
