Choosing to do a 20 day Bluesky challenge during the holiday season was *ambitious* for this quiet poster. Whew.

Microblogging novice here with a question for the experts: is there an expiration time for responding to posts? If I check Bluesky and see a post from 17 hours ago, is it weird to comment on it so much later, when all of the other comments are from 17/16/13 hours ago? What’s the norm here?

Any millennial who ever shook it on the dance floor to the classic lyrics of Lil Jon’s “Get Low” should have immediately clocked ‘skeet’ as a bad choice for Bluesky posts.

#BlueSkyTips
To those using the term "skeet" re: Bluesky - Note that Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is against the term.

Also note that the term "skeet" is a slang term (feel free to look it up).

#BlueSkyTips
Jay remains firmly anti “skeet,” please do not put in the newspaper that there were skeets

Does anyone else say “Rabbit rabbit” first thing when they wake up on the first day of the month for good luck that lasts the whole month? And if you do, where did you get the tradition from? (I remember mine from Nick Jr. of all places, but I’ve heard different origin stories!) 🐰🐰

As a historically very quiet poster (although maybe not as quiet on this app, going forward??), this is such a cool feature!
Another of my fave feeds (by the brilliant @why.bsky.team, who also created the Discover & other feeds) is QUIET POSTERS, which shows posts from people you follow who don't post that much, to help elevate people & content you might otherwise miss. 💙
