Bluesky

A fast-growing social-media platform Bluesky was mentioned in Barron's. I explored it and joined it. A possible alternative for those who avoid Facebook and X/Twitter.

  • Impossible to get past the ridiculous and stoopid "I am a human" challenge. Geniuses in charge everywhere. I guess I don't need it, after all.
  • I have my hands full just trying to keep up with you guys. Don't need any more "social" correspondence.
  • @Crash, I also hate these image challenges. But I could pass Bluesky's image challenge on 2nd try - after I put my glasses on. One problem with these is that images aren't very clear or focused to begin with, but that may be intentional.

    Bluesky's image challenge basically shows an image with 2 pieces chopped off and you must fit those in their proper places.
  • ork. OK. The phrasing of the idiotic instructions must have been composed by an alien from an alternate universe, who learned English from a Venusian whose first language is gobbledygook.
  • We've got a number of those on the SF Board of Stupidvisors.
  • Problem is @yogibearbull, Most, I think, are on a platform like FB to connect with or keep up with what friends and family are up to, I'm not sure what the purpose would be to connect to an interface where I have no "friends".
  • For those interested, there is a controversy that X/Twitter throttles/de-prioritize/degrade posts with external links, maybe Facebook does that too, but Bluesky doesn't do that.

    @MikeM, Facebook is good for communications among family and friend, so that's fine for many people. But Facebook isn't good for general posting and that is why there are X/Twitter, Threads (from META), Bluesky.
