The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Numerous times this week, I’ve learned of news breaking on Bluesky before Twitter. In the past, it’s only ever been Twitter. Bodes well for the future of this site.

Small note: I wish there was a way to segment notifications (people I follow, mentions, etc).

In the week since the U.S. presidential election, Elon Musk has used X, the social media platform he owns, to reiterate his support for President-elect Donald Trump. Some of X’s users have decided they want to post elsewhere. Among the largest beneficiaries of that desire is Bluesky. nyti.ms/48JtYAt

@nmman.bsky.social Welcome, fellow Newsky! We think you'll find this a much more pleasant place than the Bad Site. Be sure to peruse around, and don't be alarmed at the preponderance of Alf Hog. Happy skeeting!
