I never used Twitter (I guess that’s the Zoomer side of the Zillenial in me), but since signing up for Bluesky, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the quality of content. Their starter pack feature makes it easier than ever to get high quality posts delivered straight to your news feed.

Also their “domain name as handle” feature is pretty nifty for those of us who feel it’s important to have their own space on the web. Plus you can host your own data, which prevents any potential future hostile takeovers from influencing where you put your data.

As much as the death of a platform like Twitter sucks, the silver lining is that it inspired a ton of smart people to start working on decentralized social media. IMO, Bluesky has far greater potential for popular appeal than something like Mastodon, and I’m hoping it starts to overtake Twitter this year.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, I would encourage you to give it a shot. You can find me under this domain
