thanks for the shoutout mina!!
screenshot reads:

Favorite social network: Bluesky

I post everywhere to try and get my work out there and get it seen and read. But I would say the one that I use the most is Bluesky. While it has its flaws, there's definitely the occasional sports ball person in my mentions. I've found the interactions on there are the most like interactions I have with people in the real world, which is a rarity on the social internet these days.

[The word "flaws" has been highlighted in the screenshot]
