@purplepadma I’m seeing lots of people I’ve missed from the other place, and I’m getting more follows than here. But no one is talking to me. 🤷

@juneussell @purplepadma screw those guys!

@swisslet @purplepadma I know! It’s like trying to strike a match on a blancmange.

@juneussell @swisslet That’s disappointing. What are people there for if they don’t want to interact?

@purplepadma @swisslet 🤷To promote. To run a business. To gain a following. To ‘build a community’. That’s what they say they can’t get here.

@juneussell @swisslet Hmm I have found it quite difficult to build a community here. I see there is already more going on there in terms of a MH community. But here I have real friendships

@purplepadma @swisslet Yea I do too. Perhaps what I should’ve said was “build a following”. I have absolutely no interest in that, anywhere.

@juneussell @swisslet I do want to build a following on Bluesky, but only for the interactions it can bring. Not interested in getting competitive over follower stats like people used to in the other place. Just want a network of people to inform my research, that was the good bit of over there
