Would you like to hear from some people with #aphasia about their views on #AI? New podcast from #RCSLT with me and Caitlin Longman. You can also hear Chat GPT over-promise its SLT credentials to support language practice! (Take that bit with a pinch of salt!). m.soundcloud.com/rcslt/how-is...

Many people joined Bluesky recently, so I'm re-posting tips for newbies like @juliastarling.bsky.social @lovethatsmile.bsky.social @grasp-speech-lang.bsky.social @tachacslt.bsky.social @kirstyblewer.bsky.social @miranda-rose.bsky.social @katiestrongslp.bsky.social and lots of other 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES❣️
Bluesky tips for #sbkySPEECHIES
1. If you’ve moved from the other place, don’t delete your account there. Even if you think you’re a nobody, someone (mischievous or malicious) may hijack your ID (use your @handle) and post awful things in your name.
2. Top tip from @irvinewelsh.bsky.social
BEFORE you start following people, add a profile picture and banner picture and fill out your bio. Then, “tweet” (i.e., post) 5-to-10 posts so people you know will recognise you.
3. Add a hashtag or two to your bio, maybe 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES .
4. Look for your tribe, beginning with “starter packs”. Search speech here https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/ 
5. Alt text. In ⚙️Settings, go to Accessibility. ✔︎ Require alt text before posting.
6. Threads. In ⚙️ Settings go to Thread Preferences. ✔︎ Show replies in threaded view.
7. If you ❤️ "like" a re-post it won’t show up in notifications. You’ll experience more acknowledgement and action if you quote-post or post.
8. Don’t feed the 👹trolls by replying-to or re-posting their stuff. Block. Leave them to stew in their own toxic juice.
9. Tell your TweepXs where you are!

10. My top tip. Interact! Start and/or continue conversations. Don’t just like ❤️…though that’s nice… comment on, react to, and augment others’ posts.

I have only been here since August 19, 2024, so there’s lots I don't know. It would be great if you quote posted this with your own hot tips!
