In response to "More than anything Bluesky reminds me of early FB. Before it sucked. (Really, it used to not suck!) Also the book challenge I happened upon" by Cuzzin Todd

It really does, doesn't it? The thing I keep thinking about is how lonely post musk Twitter was. Like why would you post at all?

And on bluesky -- sit down -- people who follow you -- wait for it-- actually see your. Posts, no matter how popular you are in the greater ecosystem.

There are like five bars in town that I love but I feel like I can't go to them because I'm not cool enough. Twitter was like that. Algorithmic Facebook is like that. I'm cool enough to be on bluesky. It's not lonely. It's not bleak.

- I think people’s default state is to argue or impose their will on others. Social media just makes it ‘safe’. - Will Hunting Nov 23, 19:53
