Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

The 2024 World Day of Remembrance event in New Haven, CT on Sunday was so powerful. There was no better way to spend the day leading up to the birthday I share with my son, Ryan, who was among the road traffic fatality victims memorialized.

I’m slowly finding my way around so please be patient as I gear up. I love the community feel and I’m happy to see so many friends here. I am now completely inactive on X, though I’ve retained my account to protect my IP. I don’t want anyone taking my name, regardless of the platform.
