That was fast.
But it feels to me that our community has now fully reassembled here on Bluesky - and actually more cohesively than before.
Lovely.

Digital communication is now the norm. That's what's changed.
Now we need to make that work for democracy. That means working together. Organizing. Taking shit seriously.
🤣
Also 'you are your own algorithm' has huge potential to allow each of us to actually enjoy this space and well as be educated - and laugh.
Hallelujah.
There’s still quite a few still holding on to the delusional idea that it’s worth wasting time wrestling pigs…
So far, this post has 1.2k likes, which is a pretty fair 'start' for a community 🙂
Also seen a lot of big voices elsewhere with less than 200 followers here. Still a lot of work to do to join the dots.
If you want the numbers, work for them.
Bluesky (& the people contributing to it) owes you nothing.
All these "big" accounts wombling over here & expecting everyone to suddenly fall at their feet & start worshipping them is getting on my tits.
If we're not careful, this place will wind up as bad as the other one.
With X having 1/3 of population as bots - and also X collecting deadwood over years (people who become inactive followers), your actual engaged quality activity is going to come from a fraction of your audience.
There were many times I’d put out a banger and I’d get a like and maybe a retweet. Here if your post doesn’t get engagement, that’s because it sucks
They may look lovely, but I fear they need to visit Specsavers as they're confusing my profile pick for some modern-day heartthrob.
I love the information I then gleaned from joining X. Perhaps I will be braver here.
Had enough of X to last a lifetime.

Glad to see you here. 🙂👍
Quality over quantity, every time.
Once again, our physique presence is make or break for these rich assholes, and it needs to be withheld.
Maker🦋🦋👐💜
Lots of cats.

I stopped posting on X about 12 months ago. It was just bots and hate.
Definitely pro EU and pro nice.
Though still gathering followers and connections made from whence we came.
I, for example, value work in STEM areas over the arts - but if we can get FOM for arts lets go for it and then use that as a foundation to get it for STEM too.
"I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world"
It’s relatively small medium and rather antiX
Just a little peak, no engagement. Pop in to settings & hover over the deactivate - nah not ready yet…
I'll bet that Grimes may have insider information on how Goves marriage to Sarah Vine ended...
And the worse thing about it? It’s inflammatory by design. The angrier you get? The longer you’re willing to stay on the app to argue and be advertised to. Gross.
I’m hoping it continues being positive❤️
I can see the posts even though they're on block lists that I subscribe to.
More work to do.
I think it is wonderful after years of abuse, being banned then shadowbanned. Having hate tweets constantly, I am here to stay😁
not getting same engagement here as on old bird.
