Hi Bluesky. Kudos to all of you who are trying to make this site a viable alternative to X. I’ve rejoined and will do my best to contribute things that make the world seem sunnier, rather than doomed. Sending you love, art, history and all things gloriously nerdy. - ThreadSky

👋 hi Professor J.
Did I mention you signed my book by any chance?.....

caroloverrill.bsky.social•131 days ago

Signed mine too 😂

Welcome back, Janina. I’ve just joined recently from “that which shall remain nameless”.

juliewriter.bsky.social•131 days ago

I set up an account, but couldn't quite bring myself to use it (and posting across many platforms is exhausting ) but I think the old bird site is failing. First the Guardian then (shock!) Clifton Suspension Bridge! Had to find pastures new.

Hi Janina
I signed up to Bluesky several months ago as a backup and as so many I followed have disappeared off Twitter I’m gradually switching over.
I can be found at oldcargit.bskysocial

englishfolkfan.bsky.social•131 days ago

Hurrah, and thank you for those of us escaping the melonhusk now becoming image scraping hellscape.

radiolento.bsky.social•131 days ago

We've made a starter pack of gentle accounts to follow. Lots of love and sunshine in here.

Hi! It seems so much less like the fiery pits of hell here

mcapanzzi1.bsky.social•131 days ago

I came back too. I like the fun stuff here, but I also accept that the world has become a very dark place.
However I appreciate that we can all sensibly disagree from time to time, on our common goal.
How to bring back the sun. 🙂

roy4.bsky.social•131 days ago

Followed you here! Hope this site hasn't got the hate that "X" or "Twitter" has. 😊

And I'll do my best to recommend only the most well-reviewed perfumes to wear during this apocalypse. Youthful Chloé is perfect for dreams of turning back time. A beautiful powdery rose. 5-6 hours longevity with a small scent cloud for 3. $168 for 3.4oz

rani1661.bsky.social•131 days ago

Please follow back

farbutts.bsky.social•131 days ago

Glad to see you here! I’ve been a fan of your television work for years and was following you on twitter. Due to recent events I deleted my account there. I just joined bluesky here so hopefully this’ll be a better experience for all of us.

randall77.bsky.social•131 days ago

I'm really happy that you're here as I can *actually interact* with you again (school insisting all staff have locked Twitter accounts meant I was reduced to the humble 'like'!)

themontrealer.bsky.social•131 days ago

I don't even want to use the term "alternative". I don't want this place associated at all with that other platform.

smlewisimpson.bsky.social•131 days ago

Good to see you.

gareththelemming.bsky.social•131 days ago

Excellent :)

mitchraf.bsky.social•131 days ago

You were the first person I looked for on here but it said you hadn't been around. I really hope X dies like MySpace did.

uxaboveall.bsky.social•131 days ago

Well hello there!!

carolinablueskies.bsky.social•130 days ago

So needed! The dystopian hellscape known as X wouldn’t permit such posts to go far.

eliazar-meru.bsky.social•128 days ago

And don't we ever love you for it. (Lost access to the twit a few weeks ago when old 📱 crashed, probably a blessing in disguise at the time but if I can even get back on there it'll be to scuttle that old wreck of a vessel for good.)
