    I had been on twitter since 2006 and deactivated my account last week. Moved over to bsky as other educators in my circles did. Reminds me of old twitter. The starter packs are fantastic for following specific kinds of accounts.

            Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet

            All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

              @wtg Thanks for posting this, I'll give it a read.

              I'm a little skeptical because I have never found BlueSky to be as engaging or as relevant to me as Twitter used to be back before it became a total cesspool...

                Must agree. Bluesky left me wanting to get out of there.

                  The death of social media? It seems every platform that becomes widespread becomes a cesspool through scammers, frauds, angry whackos, anonymous posters and obnoxious monetization.

                    FWIW I love it. I feel so much better informed than before I joined.

                      I may need to try to follow more accounts or something...

                        I’m still trying to adjust my feed in Bluesky. I follow a lot of knitting accounts, and they follow me, but they don’t post. I follow a few news/political accounts, and they post A LOT. So it’s not a very relaxing experience.

                        I’m on Threads, too. I know, it’s another Meta platform. It’s amusing. But I’m pretty sure views of my stuff is throttled there, much like on FB, as far as knitting goes. I get way more reactions on Bluesky, even though I have fewer followers on Bluesky.

                          @ShiroKuro I use the discover tab mostly. I do get more soft porn anime drawings than I really need to see, and for a while I was getting bear pictures (not the hibernating kind). 💪

                          @AdagioM I do overdo it with the doomscrolling. As choochiefingers says, there's always so much doom to scroll.

                          I try to post flower pictures and tag them #bloomscrolling 🌸

                              I follow HCR via her substack to my email, and also in my FB feed. And on Bluesky, too. I’ll always see her somewhere!
