I was on Post, too, before it went away. I'm also on Mastodon, but BlueSky is fine; it is easier to use.

Right now, they seem determined to keep it a safe space. Those there are calling out and blocking Nazis, crypto, and the like. There are curated block lists that are easy to use.

I use Sky Follower Bridge to find my Xitter followers and follow them on BlueSky and Buffer to post on BlueSky and Mastadon simultaneously (plus Xitter, but I'm moving away from that slowly).

I wish more Dems in congress and Dem party apparatus and leaders/luminaries would get on BlueSky and off of Xitter. That's my one sticking point as I have good lists of them Xitter. But that isn't going to be enough to keep me there.

Well, that is reassuring. I sure want nothing to do with another readily manipulated site like X or many of the others. hlthe2b Nov 10 #10
