Gratz to the blue sky team, it’s very hard getting a social media app to gain traction.

However, after messing around with twitter and mastodon, I really do not get the appeal. All the incentives are not to have meaningful conversation, rather it is all about engagement.

It’s way too much noise and not for me.

As someone who never used Twitter, I made a Bluesy account and it was okay. I learned that I have no idea how to engage with that style of social media. One thing that put me off is how so much of what I saw was just talking about Bluesky vs Twitter. I hope they can move past that.

They have, the front page is all about how terrible Trump is right now.

It strictly depends on who you follow. Follow people who have something to say, and you'll have meaningful conversation.
