The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I don’t know if long threads about legal aid are the kind of thing people want to read here. I’ll find out soon enough. This thread is about legal aid funding and the dwindling band of lawyers who act for prisoners. THREAD

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content. That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

I created a Justice Starter Pack, yo. Here are researchers, journalists, insiders, and advocates who are in some way disrupting the status quo of what we call the criminal justice system. This is meant to be non-exclusive and I will be adding more accounts, so let me know! go.bsky.app/ECKyRjy
