I landed on Bluesky a couple days ago because of growing frustration with many of the more established social media platforms. In particular, I have used FB heavily as it is/was the only platform that easily allowed me to focus more on my friends and family. So, any suggestions on how to use this?

What better way to kick off my start on a new (to me) social media platform than to show off my beautiful doguinha, Pamonha. You’re welcome!
