Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Really cool seeing people making their way over from Rugby Twitter here this week. But a reminder that without an algorithm, following more people is probably the only way to feed your scrolling urges. I did a rugby starter pack here: go.bsky.app/MobjvUM
