Bluesky isn't just another Twitter/X competitor. It fixes social media

I joined Bluesky as soon as I could get my hands on an invite back in the summer of 2023. Twitter/X had become an increasingly unpleasant place since Elon Musk bought it in 2022. And then I discovered what many did back then: There weren’t enough users. I stopped using it.

A Personally Significant Bluesky Moment
(scalzi.com)
Today marks a significant day in my personal history of social media, because today’s the day the Bluesky officially became the site where I have the largest number of followers I’ve ever had on any social media site: 206,700 as of this morning. Not Taylor Swift or John Cena numbers, but a perfectly respectable number for a nerd who writes science fiction.
