Since a few of you have asked, here's another gift link for the next 300 hits, but if i do any more, @janinegibson.bsky.social might shout at me, or - worse - look over her glasses at me in a really disapproving manner

Thank you so much for one last freebie. I finally got to read it and it was worth the wait.
I was deliberating deleting my twitter account but will just leave it to get dusty like you have and it's there for read only if I need it. Good advice.
The key point.
I have just written something similar on Medium. I write about the three alternatives, and their pros and cons.
BlueSky is most like Twitter. But it's also structured like it so far. So we can't be sure a sale will happen again here.

Generally agree but have concerns that whichever platform becomes the new "town square" will also attract the bots & racists so we need different/ better systems.
BlueSky is nice now but old Twitter still suffered from "dogwhistles" if not "foghorns".
And it is good to see your here.
We all have to remember that, if we want people to stay & the site to thrive we need to interact, follow, RT, QT, promote.
Silently lurking won’t do it!

Thank you for the article!
A great article and sums up the experience of so many of us.
I shall see this as a sign of BSky succeeding.
