I'm happy so many people have joined Bluesky as there's actually some interesting things to read there now.

Though, I do see a lot more naked men than I'd normally like in a day. :-)
When I first signed up a year or so ago the site/app was dominated by the LGBTQ+ community and they tried hard to build things up. They run deep and strong on Bluesky and I'm very happy they have a relatively safe place for them to be themselves, express themselves and discuss issues. With that it means when I scroll through the What's Hot Classic feed I get a decent amount of sex posts which seems to mostly be naked men. *shrug*

Have you not changed your NSFW filtering? -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 11:56 1
- I did and now I would have to click to see any nudity. - Krusty Nov 16, 13:49
I have mentioned Groovie Goolies, The Hobbit, Say Anything, Brisco County, and The Spellshop there in the last 24 hours. I like it there. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 16, 07:49
Marginalized communities like that definitely went to Blue Sky first. -- nm - Tim Nov 16, 07:13

- Heh :-) It seems like such a great place for the LGBT+ community. -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 06:50 7
  - I wasn’t on Twitter even pre Elon so I’m not looking for a replacement. I do ST, Facebook, and I added Reddit this year. - Dano Nov 16, 06:55 6
    - Fair point. I never liked using Twitter but it was where I could get breaking news and reach out to businesses and politicians when I had an issue. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 16, 07:01 2
      - Facebook is mostly garbage now but there are some old friends and family that I keep up with on it plus some running stuff. -- nm - Dano Nov 16, 07:12 1
        
        Yeah, I can login 1x a day and look at my FB friends feed to get caught up. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 16, 08:35
    - How are things back in 2012? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 06:57 2
      - That’s about when I decided too much social media was a bad thing for me. -- nm - Dano Nov 16, 07:07 1
        
        You were so ahead of your time! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 16, 09:46
I'm thrilled with the science content, and the legal feeds seem to be growing. - ReluctantCynic Nov 16, 06:36 1
- Yeah, lots of the educated community are starting to come over and making things better. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 16, 06:55
