Really hope that Rebecca Cheptegei will be mentioned during these 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Of course she should be mentioned every other day too. But if she's not during this time then it really shows that these special UN days and initiatives have no point.

Remember new users are coming on daily, unsure of engagement. The more posts you like and reply to, the strong the platform becomes !

The criticism from X-creters about Bluesky as an "echo chamber" are funny.

1. They exist in echo chambers and won the election

2. People agree about facts in many areas, how rockets are made, whether you need gasoline or water in your gas tank to make your car go. Sometimes, it's just reality.

You know this site’s classy when you don’t see posts about I’m a Celeb.

If I take a step back and think about it, it actually makes perfect sense we would end up with a right coded social media platform and a left coded one.

Data shows Bluesky users access it relatively more on desktop browser rather than mobile phone, compared to other apps. This makes sense, the reverse chronological feed's availability lends itself to desktop usage much more than an algorithmically driven right wing hate-fueled propaganda fest

Wow, thank you all for following: 300k-plus followers on @bsky.app, for a site I only had 30k followers on before the election and that I barely checked. Crazy growth in just a couple of weeks.

I am loving the energy and engagement, and lack of trolls, on this site.

Aren't you?

I’m trying to strike a healthy balance between being informed and being oblivious.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.
