I REALLY don't want to join #Bluesky and love it here on the fedi.

@codemonkeymike For sure. You should also follow @JuliaMinamata if you don't already.

@rocky1138 @JuliaMinamata I wasn't, but am now

@codemonkeymike all i see on bsky is politics, memes, pop culture stuff - it seems like a way way more general audience. i even did a thread test, check it out:

bsky -> https://bsky.app/profile/viss.hax.lol/post/3lbayexmavk2k
you tell me which one did better

@paulyd @killyourfm your in! And huge fan of Jason!
-
@Viss yes that's exactly it. Back when I was on here and Twitter and would ask for help or an opinion on something. The response here was 5000x more useful and positive
Thanks for the reminder
-
@codemonkeymike I love PHP.
I’ve paid bills writing in it.
I’ve paid bills breaking apps others wrote in it -
@corycarson PHP always paying the bills. Literally bought me a property, house, truck and entire family lol
-
@codemonkeymike I have a similar pathway as you, moved from mostly PHP to mostly elixir a few years ago.
I left twitter because of the algorithm and noise, I'm not moving to bluesky as I know it's gonna be more of the same
-
I followed you today as I am getting started with NixOS, switching from Ubuntu.
-
Give it time. I don't remember when I started on Twitter, but I'm guessing I was over there roughly two years before Xitter happened.
Which is just about exactly how long I've now been on Fedi.
In the same time, I have 4.5 as many followers, FAR more engagement, and althogether a much more pleasant experience. (The big secret I discovered is following hashtags. Total game-changer.)

@8744781f42a20add2f942a2b4feabca5b451ca22c17e20db7884f55d72f30a56 amazing. Welcome and do reach out if you have any questions!
-
@dblack amazing. How is elixir from PHP? Do you enjoy it more or miss php
-
@codemonkeymike Linux nerd here.
I'm my experience, there are tons of people here that meet your requirements. Just takes awhile to build up a good following. Stick with mastodon. And you can always follow folks on bluesky from here.
-
@codemonkeymike Am dad, likes jokes, and runs Linux
-
@codemonkeymike blue sky is good except when it comes to its tech community. The fediverse is still the best place for that IMHO.

@codemonkeymike I do almost 0% web dev, but I'm a huge Linux/SysAdmin nerd. Feel free to follow!
-
@cavyherd @codemonkeymike +1 on the hashtags. I also like the depth of engagement people tend to have here compared to other platforms.
-
@codemonkeymike I love them both! On the web side of things, I can do stuff in Live view that I only dreamed of in PHP.
I'm just finishing up 3 months PHP work, and I've really enjoyed it too
