I think that's beautiful. Bluesky should be whatever communities people wish to build. The starter packs are a great illustration of this. One person can have an entirely different experience than another, but then those walls can come down and offer a larger community

All of this questioning of what the purpose of BlueSky is constantly ignores how broken and unusable Twitter has become. Most basic functionality has become glitchy, been removed, altered to the point of uselessness, or put behind a paywall. No effort is being put to improve it

In the week since the U.S. presidential election, Elon Musk has used X, the social media platform he owns, to reiterate his support for President-elect Donald Trump. Some of X’s users have decided they want to post elsewhere. Among the largest beneficiaries of that desire is Bluesky. nyti.ms/48JtYAt

As someone who loves and works with words, the idea of losing them is terrifying. I was moved by this story

My migration to Bluesky is complete and it feels great. Tip for people who still need to use X sometimes for work etc: hide it from your Home Screen and put Bluesky where it was. I haven’t even opened X in ages 🦋
