Good morning BlueSky world! I have to say this place feels much better than being on IG or FB, etc. Let's hope this community continues to grows. There's SUCH a need for a healthier, more ethical place to share and discuss photography. Oh yeah, this is a pretty image from my trip to Utah fall - ThreadSky

I agree. How nice to be able to use a social media website where we're all civil to each other.

Could not agree more. New here, myself.

thanks Chris

That's stunning Michael. It does seem like a nicer place here, and most definitely more ethical (at the moment!).

Thanks Sophie — it’s hard to want to spend time in the other sites

Well, I originally made a Twitter account to have fun pissing off MAGAts. But after being blocked on Xitter once more I dropped it completely. Besides there started to be a shortage of passionate MAGAts willing to fight for the honour of Dear Leader. Instead there were more people agreeing with me.😎

I have been happily Twitter-free since 6th November. It had become a hellhole and it was freeing to leave it, in spite of all the friends and happy memories accumulated over the years. But the friendships continue elsewhere (like here, and in real life).

I've been here only two days and have already felt solace away from Disgracebook.

Welcome!

Hope you continue to like it here

Since I finally received my invite code for Bsky, I didn't think about Xitter.

sophiecarr.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yep - I really only spend time here and post some photos still on Instagram. We’ll see what happens in the next few months - might close the Meta sites…

michaelbollino.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yeah I’m cutting down IG time and effort but still use it. The culture there is off-putting

sophiecarr.bsky.social•38 days ago

Will be interesting to see what the Bluesky Flashes photo platform will look like.

Beautiful image, Michael!
And yes, let's hope the community here gets bigger and stays sane.

michaelbollino.bsky.social•39 days ago

Fingers crossed! It does seem like there is momentum. Even my teenage son said he was hearing more and more about it

Beautiful work Michael!

Thanks Eugene

Bluesky feels so civilised and supportive compared to Instagram and other places..it’s amazing.
Great autumn colours btw! I’d love to shoot these (cottonwood?!) trees at some point. They all have so much character

michaelbollino.bsky.social•38 days ago

It does. I really hope this place thrives
