For those unaware, ever since the US Presidential Election there has been a mass exodus of users from Twitter/X over towards Bluesky and this also includes several pro wrestlers, wrestling media and promotions beginning to use Bluesky as their official social media of choice.
For those who are on Bluesky, ImADifferentBird has put together a starter pack of Bluesky users who are part of this ‘Wrestlesky’ community, and there are several others as well.
There are currently several pro wrestling feeds on Bluesky, listed below:
To date, AEW and TNA have both joined (ROH too but they aren’t active yet) and we’ve been seeing a big influx of pro wrestlers coming in and reactivating old accounts or creating brand new ones.
Should there be any wrestlers or anyone else you want to point out specifically, drop the info in the comments below (and/or recommend them to the maintainers of any starter packs if they aren’t listed).
Hopefully we’ll be able to do away with posting twitter links entirely soon!
Edit: EVE, NJPW, and Maple Leaf Pro have all also joined!
Let me know when the dust settles and Bluesky actually has content, and I’ll check it out again.
I’m not joining another thing just for everyone to not bother their asses using it, I’ve already got a Mastodon account from that original week everyone claimed they were leaving twitter after the sale - everyone just created profiles and left again on day two.
Honestly, you’re good to go imo.
BS hit 10mil users a month ago, I joined last nov and was number 1.908 something million. Been watching the ‘new users first post live feed’ nonstop since the day before the US election and its been no joke non-stop new users every second of the day since then with no stopping.
I’ve noticed lots of old unused accounts getting used again (like some of the aforementioned wrestlers), a lot more big companies and sites are set up or setting up. Bluesky never had the ‘what server do you wanna sign up on’ deal like mastodon does so that first barrier that kept most people away isn’t fucking things up.
Plus just from my own usage it feels a lot easier to find what you want (and have other people find you) since Bluesky has feeds you can save and browse instead of having to search for everything on Mastodon.
Pretty much every interest I have I’ve also found feeds for, YMMV of course, but the content is 100% there now.
Bluesky added almost 100k just in the past day. The content feeds are busy busy busy.
I’m not so worried about Bluesky getting the huge wave of new accounts, but more if those accounts will be actively posting next week or just slink back to the dirty birdsite out of habit. Good to know from yours and other replies that its very active at the moment though!
My Bluesky feed is busier than my Twitter feed was when I left a couple of years ago.
