I like Bluesky but keep forgetting to post here - it’s not yet part of my routine. Must do better!

I’m not saying the Xodus is unstoppable, but I am saying my mum just forwarded me an email from her local theatre explaining why they’re moving to Bluesky. If you’ve lost South Oxfordshire amateur dramatics, you stand to lose a whole lot more.

I've made a starter pack of all the UK think tanks I could find on bluesky so far, and staff working at them. If I'm missing any organisation/any one please do comment below so I can add in 😊 go.bsky.app/Geu9Jd8

Hello Bluesky people. I’ve been thinking of cutting loose from X since it became X. I haven’t yet, but I am slowly sliding and may soon jump. What stops me is losing my connections, so the more that join up here the merrier.
