Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Remember, if someone posts something you really like on here, re-post it, bc unlike the other place, there is no algorithm to boost likes. If we want to get folks' best thoughts seen and create a critical mass of engagement, sharing is key!

Speaking to someone as if they are not as familiar with the subject matter as you and contextualizing and framing your verbiage appropriately for their comprehension is not the same as condescension. One is potentially a kindness, the other is always a d!ck move.

Today I edited some. I romanced a murder of crows. I walked out of doors. I talked to a spider. I conspired to help a vulnerable person. I introduced my son to a piece of pop culture from my generation. Time to hug a cockatoo and cook dinner. #averagesaturday
