A Brief Guide to BlueSky for the Underwear Guy

No Comments

It seems like the site Leon runs (yes, that’s on purpose) is becoming a ghost town for gear guys. When I go through my feed, I see fewer posts from guys I used to interact with regularly. I have been trying to get guys to move to BlueSky for a few months, and I wanted to share a few things that differ from Twitter. 

Spicy Content is ok!

Spicy content is okay, but when you post it, you can select whether it’s nudity, suggestive, or adult. Note that you only see this once you upload media (picture or video). If you forget to do this, BlueSky will automatically label it. You didn’t have to do this on Twitter, but it’s one of the quirks here. You can also set your profile to view spicy content as well automatically. To do this: 

  • Go under Settings
  • Click Moderation 
  • Scroll down till you see “Content Filters.”
  • Then, you can select which you want to see:
    • Adult Content
    • Sexually Suggestive
    • Graphic Media
    • Non-sexual Nudity

This is where the labels mentioned above come into play. They aren’t there to limit or censor people; they make sure those who want to see spicy or graphic content can see it, and those who don’t won’t. 

Now that you signed up for BlueSky, how do you find people to follow? There are several ways to find others. 

  • Sky Follower Bridge—If you use a Chrome browser (including Edge), this extension is a quick way to find people you follow on Twitter. Granted, if you haven’t deactivated your account already, you follow the instructions. The extension will show you people, and you can follow them directly from the extension. Note that it’s not perfect; if some names match on both services, it’s not the same person. 
  • Starter Packs—You will see this a lot on BlueSky. Each person can create a Starter Pack listing people others suggest you follow. I recommend everyone create one. My Starter Pack is o.bsky.app/CG6HpBA. To make one (or several), go to your profile and click the “starter pack” at the top. It’s simple to create and share. As mentioned above, you can share as many as you like. 
  • Lists—I have created lists for “Underwear, Spandex, Kink, Brief Talk Studs” (our podcast, guys) that you can follow and find many of the guys you know on Twitter. It’s a work in progress, and I add to it daily. 
  • Feeds—Feeds are new, and I’m trying to figure them out. You can follow many feeds created. I’m trying to figure out how to do a gear-centric feed, but I haven’t had time to do so yet. 

Some Basic posting information you guys might find helpful is: 

  • Pictures – You can post pictures just like any other social site. 
  • Videos – This is relatively new to BlueSky; the videos must be under 60 seconds. They will add longer videos soon; I am unsure if it will be paid or a free service. 
  • DMs – just like other services, you can direct message people and turn it on or off. 
  • Threads—I don’t think they are available yet. A thread is a series of linked posts. I didn’t see the option; if I am wrong, someone will correct me. (It appears you need an App to do Threads)

I hope this helps explain the service; while it’s a lot like Twitter, there are some differences. I don’t think any of them are too hard to come over, but navigating if you are new can be confusing! 

If you have any questions, reach out to me on BlueSky. My DMs are open, and I will answer you as soon as possible! Welcome to a place where the skies are bluer and the conversations are better.

Its Time for Underwear guys to dump Twitter

2 Comments

Over the last few days, I have considered continuing to use Twitter as an active platform. I have been trying to decide whether to focus time on it.

In full transparency, this is not related to the recent events but was further fueled by the owner and what voices are amplified on the platform. I used Twitter to market the UNB store, but since the ownership transition, my efforts on the platform have stayed the same while my results have significantly decreased. I would post and interact well with likes, comments, and shares. Not to mention, clicks to the store have all been reduced to 1-2 likes a post, and there are virtually no clicks on most posts, and the ones that drive traffic are 1-2. At this same time, my referral traffic went from Twitter, the top referer, to falling out of the top 5, and Reddit became the top referring social media site. In September, I dropped all effort for the Unb Store on Twitter.

The following change allows people whom you block to see your posts. This should be a fundamental, essential feature on all social media platforms. I have blocked people I don’t want to see my content or interact with, and their reasoning for this change doesn’t make sense.

The last reason is the ownership and how Twitter is being run. I am going to get political here for a minute: the content that is being pushed on the platform is not in the best interest of a gay man. My vision for the country and the current ownership do not intersect. And I, in good conscience, support a company that is working against the best interests of the LGBT community.

One example is that I recently posted about dumping Twitter on my UNBTIM account, and it got very little interaction. I’m not going to come right out and say the algorithm blocked or made my post less visible, but being a free speech platform, it appears that some speech is more equal than others.

I want to start sending out or sharing undies/gear guys so you know who is on the platform and make it a better community for gear guys. Here is why I think BlueSky is the best alternative

  1. Allows spicy content—Much like Twitter, it allows users to post suggestive and spicy content without fear of having their posts deleted or their accounts banned.
  2. Similar interface – if you are familiar with Twitter, BlueSky is very similar, and there is less of a learning curve. Firmer Twitter Employees created the service, and it has a lot of work and needed features to be implemented, but the recent addition of video and DM makes it a more compelling service
  3. One of BlueSky’s most striking features is its friendliness. Since joining, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in insults and misinformation. This welcoming environment is ideal for building a gear community where everyone feels comfortable and respected.

One key reason for my decision to shift to BlueSky is the company’s stance on social issues. Twitter’s current ownership has supported causes that threaten the rights of LGBT people and people of color. As a member of these communities, I can not in good conscience support a company that does not actively work to protect our rights.

If you do join, send me a DM or public message. I plan on sharing all the gear guys on BlueSky. I want to facilitate building a massive community of guys who love underwear, speedos, spandex, and other gear. By the way, I am UNBTim there before I forget.

Several guys already joined BlueSky, and I hope to see more of you there.
