Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋

May #Musk 's app die.

@LnzyHou @Bix
Yes. I just said bye to my close friends. But if they choose to stay oh well. I refuse to support that traitor.

@Bix Already on Bluesky...cancelled my business account on #Musk site!!!

@Bix

Read long ago Musk is stockholder in Bluesky. Any truth to that?

@LnzyHou

Probably, but he doesn't control it. If shit goes bad there, then I am out.
Note, check where you are in any social media site.

@Bix

I am off every site but CoSo. And spend too much time here.

@LnzyHou @Bix oh so that's why this place is so cool, people like you being here a lot.

@dr_zooks @Bix

Awwww

@LnzyHou @Bix

The only SM place I trust is CoSo. Not even BlueSky can temp me, although I am finding relief it’s syphoning X users.

Still, if BlueSky uses algorithms, it’s going to want to get you hooked on outrage, and I am so over that.

@evamarie @Bix

As am I

@LnzyHou @evamarie

Experts I trust on the Ukraine War and on American democracy are on Blue Sky. So, for now, I will be there, too.

@Bix @LnzyHou

I’m glad you’re on Blue Sky so I don’t have to be 😁

@evamarie @LnzyHou

I would to like to totally check out, but I can't do it. I have cut out TV news.
If I can get over my heartbreak of my country putting the GOP in power, I will add NPR back in.

@Bix @LnzyHou

Yup - we’re all trying to cope with heartbreak and I know for me the process is going to be messy. I went off on a GOP friend via email the other day and was surprised at my own vitriol.

@evamarie @Bix

No one has to be anywhere.

@evamarie @Bix @LnzyHou

Good one, E-M. 🤓🤓😉

@evamarie @LnzyHou

For now, there is no algorithm on Blue Sky.

@Bix @LnzyHou

So, there’s that 👍

@evamarie @LnzyHou @Bix I don't think it uses algorithms the way Twitter does. I haven't seen any vitriol over there like I do on Twitter. Or at all. But I probably don't spend much time on it to see it.

@dr_zooks @evamarie @LnzyHou

So far, there is no algorithm for your "Following" feed - and new users are loving that about the site.

@Bix @evamarie @LnzyHou I just like not having hate and insults shoved into my eyes whenever I open an app. 😂 I'm here to connect with potential readers, not join any marches.

Not here, the other socials. This is my unserious account.

@dr_zooks @Bix @evamarie

We seriously protect each other here.

@LnzyHou @Bix @evamarie I've seen it. Cool people, cool vibes.

@Bix Whats your Bluesky??
Just got there and cant find anyone
