“In July, Bluesky's monthly active user base stood at about 688,568, a fraction of X's base of 76.9 million…” After 15 years on the OTHER platform, feeling great to be part of something fresh

Photoshopped still from the Monty Python dead parrot sketch, with the John Cleese character holding the parrot changed to Musk’s face and an upturned, expired blue twitter bird replacing the eponymous parrot in Cleese’s / Musk’s hand.

Hello bluesky friends! After much prevaricating I have started the process of leaving Twitter, because of what Musk is saying, doing and not doing on and about the platform. I tried moving to Mastodon last year, but that was too geeky to work for me.
