Can we get an official FFXIV account on Bluesky

The problem i have with blusky is that at the end of the day unlike "twitter" or "X", it was made with the current culture war in mind. say what you want about X but at least you can freely speak no mater what you think.You dont have to be worried you will be banned for speaking your mind, "All voices are allowed". But is on bluesky you dont get that freedom or ability and will be banned. At least like it or hate it, X allows for open talks of all people no matter what you think and is neutral giving all people a voice and bluesky doesnt. by using bluesky it would show that the FF14 devs are picking a side in a very toxic Culture War that i dont think they want any part of.

I thought bluesky was just a bunch of old people + new twitter echochamber

It's George Takei, Something Awful alum wannabe e-celebs, and the kind of people that went to Twitter after Tumblr banned porn.

Square Enix already has an official account there, surprised they haven't made an FF14 account yet.

As the title says, can we get an official FFXIV account on Bluesky? "X" isn't exactly a great platform and I don't feel like using it (or any Meta owned platform while we're at it) to have an official feed. Having the choice to follow on Bluesky would be great for those of us not wanting to support one of Elon Musk's businesses.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

THE POINT (for all those arguing against this idea):

Some of FFXIV's contests are exclusively "submit on X." Which sucks canal water when you are NOT ON X (for whatever reason; mine is that I won't support a fascist whose own AI bot has determined him a fascist and a detriment and a liar, and that's aside from the abusers he's brought back into the platform).

Bluesky is VERY popular with a lot of FFXIV players (and others as well)---if they're going to run contests on X, they ought to run them on Bluesky also---or STOP running them on X and just run ALL contests off their own (FFXIV) contest page. One or the other.

Stop beating the dead horse, most people don't care about your virtue signaling and american politics

The world is smaller and more connected than you think. Sooner or later the effects will impact you personally (looked at economics and world political situation lately?); with your attitude you shouldn't cry when they do. Some of us do care about more than just our OWN country.

I don't care to use Twitter or Bluesky personally (they're both garbo for different reasons), so I just never bother with any contests that require me to submit anything to either.

Well, my guess would be that Bluesky is only a thing because all the people who couldn't tolerate others opinions on X had to create a new echo chamber.

More like a Opera Hall where the Brune Hilda slaps you around if you don't sing what she wants.

I agree. There's plenty of people on BlueSky. Make it accessible.

Bluesky is just an echo chamber for fragile people who want reddit levels of moderation because anytime someone disagrees with them they see it as a personal attack.

Sounds like the perfect place for most FFXIV players.
