I just recently signed up. I quit Twitter shortly after musk took it over and I'm glad there's this to replace it. It'll take awhile to get the engagement of classic Twitter. I'm willing to give it a try. I hope you do too!
People are nicer. But one thing I miss from Twitter is usual friends don't show up in your feed. You have to search for them if you remember their handles.
Despite the fact that politics is dominating the conversation right now ( and understandably so ) BlueSky has excelled at ways to weed out the trolls, and it is so much more peaceful. I still have my X account (our municipal gov still posts there) but when I go back I find it so toxic.
It took me 15 years to build up the small following that I had on X. I was going through my posts and reposts today and realized I spent entirely too much time trying to spread a message that was falling on deaf ears. Not totally out of the fray here, but a lot more peaceful. I am happy with that

We followed each other on the bird site.
I'm really happy to see you here.
I left when the orange calf was invited back.
I'm reconnecting with many people I've missed.
I hope you stay.
… oh. You said one GOOD reason.
😒
