Users move their uninspiring tweets to Bluesky.

You can use a Chrome extension, but should you really do it?

The emergence of a Chrome extension has prompted some users to consider importing their posts from X to Bluesky, although the community seems divided on the idea. A post on an unofficial "Bluesky Support" account urged people not to bring their old tweets, stating that “they were bad the first time.” This comment reflects a clear disagreement over the validity of sharing old content on a new platform.

Some Bluesky users have interpreted this trend as a sign of narcissism, suggesting that those who choose to import their old tweets do so out of fear of the unknown. Nevertheless, others have taken the situation with humor, pointing out that comments from years ago, like some jokes about the movie "Taken 3," are unnecessary in the current context. The conversation on the platform has turned to jokes, while some users express their wish that only the most notable posts be imported.

An accessible option for those looking to import their old tweets—excluding retweets, replies, and shared posts—is the Porto Chrome extension. This tool allows users to gather their previous content on the new platform, although some have warned that nostalgia may not be as appealing as expected.
