How to migrate from X to Bluesky without losing your followers (act FAST!)
ACT FAST, ya'll before Eloon blocks this fantastic tool. I used it and it worked great!https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-migrate-from-x-to-bluesky-without-losing-your-followers/

If you've decided, like many others, that it's time to leave X behind, you don't have to leave your entire social circle. That's where the Sky Follower Bridge extension comes in handy. This tool allows you to migrate your followers, followings, and even your block list from X to Bluesky, making the transition relatively seamless.
While the tool works well for now, it's important to note that it uses a form of screen scraping to pull data from X. Historically, X has taken measures to block tools like this -- just as we've seen with similar tools designed to help users migrate to Mastodon. X will likely take steps to block Sky Follower Bridge in the future, so if you're considering the switch, it may be wise to act sooner rather than later.
