Leaving the website formally known as Twitter

JonnyBiscuits

I have a couple of invite codes to Bluesky if anyone wants them. Bit quiet over there at the moment, but it might end up being the place to go, particularly if the manbaby starts charging for Twitter.

Let me know if you want one.

I'm on Bluesky and am now planning to close down my Twitter account. With that, this forum and the odd peek at Instagram I think I'm covered for what I need. Its a real shame given what Twitter has provided over the years but I just can't avoid the stuff I don't want to see anymore.

I recommend Bluesky if you are curious. Just feels like a nicer place to be. And Andy has started an OUFC feed which will only grow and grow.

I'd be up for that. Seriously thinking about closing down my Twitter account as well, and I definitely will if a charge is introduced.

JonnyBiscuits

TrevorAylottsHeadband I've DM'ed you a code.

What I would miss most about Twitter is following the football. Until clubs start posting in full elsewhere, I'll have to stay.

Bspittles I know what you mean, but official club accounts including ours mainly just post banal crap IMO so not sure what I would miss. I've seen enough bicep emojis to last a lifetime!

Unfortunately that's the way I have to follow matches these days :-(

Yeah, it's a shame, we've built up a nice little community (so sorry to use this word) on oufc twitter, but it's hard to stay loyal to it now it's such a bin fire.

I've had SO much fun on OUFC Twitter. Most of it on my account, some of it while incognito. But either way it's been brilliant and I'm furious with the billionaire baby for shitting the bed all over it. But all good things come to an end and it's now about what positive things we can do to make the best of a bad situation.

Both my current sign up codes have been used now. We'll all get given more though, so continue to say so on here if you want one.

Any thoughts on expanding the invite list for this place?

Yep, I posted this a while back and forgot about it - suspect people missed it and/or didn't feel bold enough:

If anyone wants to invite some new folk to join the forum, here are some sign-up codes. You just need to give them the website URL and a code, and they just need to sign-up in the same way you did.

You all know the general concept here - so please just invite pleasant, level-headed, non-argumentative people.

Note that each of the codes can only be used a certain number of times, so if it doesn't work, give them one of the other ones available here.

Web address: thebeauchamplodge.freeflarum.com

2QN0F5JU ..... Can be used 5 more times.
OPT35K7Z ..... Can be used 4 more times
WWVNHDZ1 ..... Can be used 8 more times.

I have an invite code to Bluesky, if anyone would like it.

I have a Bluesky code if there are any takers?
