It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.

That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it

If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Using Feeds really makes this site better.

I even created my own “The Old Twitter Gang”

There’s a Florida Gators feed, a Law Sky feed, a trending news feed, etc.

1/5 If Trump wanted Russia to negotiate, he would make the war harder for the Kremlin, not create the conditions for Russian victory. I wish reporters would point this out.

What counts as a “tiny” serving? Because this is something I can sign up for in the name of health.

Day 4 of my Texas Hates Mothers and Children Advent Calendar: Almost half of the counties in Texas have no maternity care—prenatal care or a hospital to deliver a baby (that many women are now forced to have). www.texastribune.org/2024/12/03/t...
Rural providers, advocates push Texas Legislature to "rescue" maternal health care system
Almost half of Texas counties have nowhere to get prenatal care, let alone deliver a baby. This plan offers legislative proposals to shore up what’s left.

As Texas continues to target doctors performing newly “illegal procedures” it has an effect on legal healthcare. Our doctors are leaving and many Texans will suffer the unintended consequences.
As an adult, there is no law preventing Zicko from accessing hormone therapy. But as he and other trans adults are learning, the state’s hostility toward trans-related health care for minors has sharply curtailed their ability to access care as well.
After Texas banned puberty blockers and hormones for trans kids, adults lost care, too
As limitations on trans teens increase, doctors have left the state, weakening an already threadbare system for trans adults.
