I would like to say I sawBlueskySocial’s big moment coming.
Overall, BlueSky is the equivalent of a social media Shangri-La."
New York’s hottest social media club is Bluesky.
Since I last checked Bluesky and it had been months the platform on mobile and desktop has grown.
It really did feel like Twitter 1.0, all that was missing was aFail Whale.
So many people from so many strata of life were joining that they were sometimes stumbling into their doppelgangers.
Doubtfire) both found their fake selves.
Lizzo resorted to creating a new handle, Lizzobeeating,bsky.social, to combat the @lizzo imposter.
You just have to set up a domain for yourself and do something with DNS, and… No normal person is going to do that.
I did find myself having fun on Bluesky.
I do this on Threads where all my posts get pushed to the Federated platform as well.
I don’t visit these other platforms but appreciate the enhanced audience.
Threads engagement has improved in recent months, but it’s unpredictable.
Bluesky is so new that everyone is jumping on almost every post.
That won’t last.
When will the good times end?
I guess I’m now wondering what I do next.
Do I shut down X (Twitter) and spend all my time on Bluesky?
Do I keep Threads on as a backup?
But staying active on the platform seems less appealing by the second.
Bluesky, on the other hand, is so fresh-faced that it has nothing but appeal.
I know that won’t last, just like babies don’t stay cute.
They grow into dirty children and then surly teens before becoming uninteresting adults (or worse).
Whatever happens, Bluesky will never recreate Twitter 1.0, just like Threads can’t really replace it.
As a society, we have moved on from that.
Open discourse on social media might start fresh and sweet, but it always curdles.
