Kosta Nedeljkovic (out on loan at RB Leipzig)

[AV84]

I gave up twitter about a year ago and it's done wonders for my mood. I didn't realise it while I was using it but I was constantly annoyed about something, even with a carefully curated feed and hundreds of muted words and/or accounts. Even before it went to hell with Musk, it was a very reactionary place. The amount of times I'd get caught up in something that seemed very important and then you'd go out into the real world and realise nobody cared, it was just some stupid twitter drama.

I got an invite to the BlueSky thing and I signed up and had a quick look. It looks exactly like twitter, interface wise, but it doesn't seem to be very active. And even if it was I question if I really need to get sucked back into that kind of thing again.

[edgysatsuma89]

Yeah, BlueSky doesn't have all the nutters but it simply isn't active enough. I don't check it often.

[Mister E]

Has Ned actually signed yet?

[Somniloquism]

Supposed to be tomorrow based off the latest posted by that twitter bod.

Evening everyone, hope you're doing well. Here's a short 2 minute video detailing everything you need to know about Kosta Nedeljkovic for those of you interested. He's far and away the biggest talent in Serbian football, and I have no doubt he'll take over from Matty Cash at right back in due course. Do let me know what you make of this down, and feel free to ask me any questions you may have, cheers!

Cheers Uti.  Sounds like a decent prospect.  Shame there's no thunder-bastards in this video though.

I think this is true of most social media and was the reason I binned off Facebook about 5 years ago. I just used to get annoyed at “friends” posting complete shite and just had enough, never looked back. Only thing that was vaguely useful was the local village group  telling you of traffic incidents etc but that’s full of nosy busybodies, might be quite good to go back on there just on the wind up.

Work keep pestering me to get on fb to try and generate customers but have resisted so far.

I've never used facebook or anything, I've never seen the point. My partner does and people talk to me about things because he's posted something I ate or somewhere we went. Are people's lives so boring they have to look at what I've had for tea?

I stick to the essentials - LinkedIn for finding business and Grindr for naked rolling about. Until Twitter can offer me money or animal relief, it knows what it can do with itself.

[Somniloquism]

The ads it now allows on does the latter, however mostly women based on the very graphic pictures that appear in some ads.

That must be difficult to fulfill, you know what with the opposable thumbs issue.

You click on something that you think might be interesting and the top six replies are usually something like:

(1) tired meme that is nothing to do with the subject
(2) ad for crypto-scam
(3) tired meme that is nothing to do with the subject
(4) picture of lady with no clothes who apparently lives 300m from me
(5) Blue-tick troll account
(6) ad for anti-baldness scam

[eamonn]

I only scan Twitter sparingly but the most annoying thing, apart from the in-thread adverts, recently, is if you click into replies within a reply, when you click back after reading, you are taken back to the original tweet at the top instead of resuming from where you were reading. So you have to scroll down again and find the point you were at previously. I presume that was an Elon prank, I don't remember it being an issue before.

Needs must as the devil drives!

I'm on BlueSky, but basically just to read Robin Ince's posts

We just need to think of a song for him now. That won’t be easy!
