16. How long has Bluesky existed?
Sat Nov 9, 2024, 01:30 AM
Nov 2024

I just looked into this and it feels like I stepped back in time. In the few minutes I looked I found a twitter buddy who bolted x in favor of Mastodon last year. He found his way to Bluesky. Also, from entertainment, Kathy Valentine of the Go-Gos Rock Band is on Bluesky.

I need to get away from TwitterX. It is just becoming intolerable. What keeps me there is friends that have not yet moved. One friend is not in good health and, although he is concerned about twitter's direction, is still reluctant to move. Understandable, given his condition.

Leon has promised a few weeks back to ban anyone who post fake or false information. If that is the case he should have banned himself a while back. He is such a hypocrite.

On edit, one of my heroes, Michigan's own Mallory McMorrow is on Bluesky.
