Because I don’t want or need your email address. Because I am not on BlueSky to gather DM’s or people’s personal email addresses. Why would I? Anyway, enough. You carry on trying to DM and email people. Good luck with that.

Absolutely not! My replies have been an attempt to help you see why you’re barking up the wrong tree expecting to use BlueSky as a personal messaging service. I have friends and family to email or even speak to properly, in the real world. I encourage you to do the same

You’d be very lucky to get someone’s personal email address! Why would anyone disclose that to someone they only know on a social media app??!

post
No, that’s true. I certainly have people I interact with on instagram from all over the world. But that’s grown from comments and conversation on posts, not from approaches via DM.

Maybe because they see and use Blue Sky for information, sharing their views or their photography, and don’t want anything other than interaction on their posts, not for friendships via DM. It’s not Tinder.

Just my view of course, but nothing leads to the block button faster than unsolicited DM’s. Especially when stated on a bio that DM’s are unwelcome. And to be honest you’re not really making friends when you message people who live thousands of miles away, you make friends out in the real world.

If you mean DM’s by not ‘responding to messages’, there’s many of us on here, especially women, who request no DM’s in their bio info. And don’t use BlueSky as a messaging service?

Thank you. It was quite a place to live and work for 20 years. I miss it sometimes!

Many thanks. I chickened out of driving that road and went home the long way round that day! But had to pull over to take a quick shot

They were certainly eye-catching! Think the day I took this there was also a psychedelic Elvis on display.

Yes, it’s enough of a drive from Sheffield, I’d not relish the journey from Cornwall 😳

Thank you! And yes, I still bear a massive grudge about Brexit. I want a separate passport that proclaims I didn’t vote for it 😂

You were very lucky. It’s one of my favourite cities 🏴

Mine too. Always visit when I have a Glasgow weekend! It’s a treasure trove of a place

Sadly they lost 3-1. But they were playing a team of under-10 girls who were just amazing. It was a great match and so good to see kids enjoying the game!

You obviously weren’t invited to watch Leyland Pirates under-9’s today.

Thank you. It was a bit surreal finding this room with all these Buddhas!

As the wife to a man with stage 4 lung cancer this was an extremely interesting and important read. Happy to report that even within the pressured NHS we’ve not yet come across a never word being used.

I’m glad you said that. My husband always moaned about missing Langkawi but I wanted vibrant Penang!

Thank you. Yes, it was one of those spontaneous Thai things of ‘Oh I need to go to a funeral on the way back to your hotel, do you mind?’ Got to love the things that happen when you travel!

Many thanks! Best sunrises I’ve ever seen and worth the early mornings🌞

We went for the orangutans but stayed for the sunsets! Then chose to go on to Penang rather than Langkawi, for the Georgetown street art. Back in the day when photographic opportunities dominated holiday decisions😂

Thank you. Go and stay a few days would be my advice, get the place to yourself early mornings! Avoid the days when 10 cruise ships arrive 🫣

Thank you, and I really don’t see the point of the flying dress thing. Seems a complete vanity project and so disrespectful to the local people and their way of life. I’m a grumpy old woman though so what do I know?! 😂

Me too but not for a few years now. Far too many Greek islands to choose from. Santorini is stunning though isn’t it? 🇬🇷

Driven through Mottram many times and never noticed these. Are they on that triangle shaped junction?
