Weave Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago Title sez it all. For those of you that have tried any of the Twitter alternatives, do any of them have a decent number of hockey folks that are creating content? 1 Quote

I've had both for awhile and Bluesky has added more in the past 6 months I'd say. Quote
LGR4GM Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago Actually, let's be blunt. Bluesky has added a ton since November 5th. That's not a political statement, it's just the truth. 1 Quote

Who do you follow on Bluesky for hockey content? I see the Sabres have an account but no info. I haven't seen any of the 'insiders' there yet. For me mostly the same with Threads. Threads has a bit more content, but none of the big sources, and Bluesky seems to be growing quicker. (on a side-note, Bluesky needs a Windows Desktop app ASAP.) Twitter seems to be where most of the hockey news come from as of right now. Quote
SabresBaltimore Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago (edited) the main one I follow is Joe Yerdon: https://bsky.app/profile/joeyerdon.bsky.social Fairburn is there too, but he only recently started posting. I don't have a direct link for him. (it might just be: matthewfairburn.bsky.social) None of the national guys (like Freedman) are there yet that I've seen.

SabresBaltimore Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago guess I need to go looking for more accounts after work. There has been a big spike on the Bills side of things in the last few days. Until recently I mostly just saw posts from Yerdon there Quote
Doohicksie Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago I've been on Mastodon for a while. It's kind of like Windows Phone (when that was a thing): Decent enough, but doesn't have the mainline apps/content providers. Just joined Bluesky and it seems more active. If anyone wants to follow me there my display name is Paul H Doohickie. Quote

darksabre Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago For those of you coming over to BlueSky, there are things called feeds and starter packs to help you build your following list. Check out this starter pack: https://go.bsky.app/3JSejAY And my custom Sabres feed: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gb2oixzzczt3wnthetoptzcp/feed/aaaiylu6exrzu 2 Quote

Guess Ill check it out. Yeah, Bluesky is kind of what I hoped Mastodon would be. Mastodon is okay but it's not a news source; not enough official/relevant accounts there. Quote
