It's fertile ground...

A very nice lady at the grocery store today asked me if I was Hank Green “from Bluesky” 😳

Oh man, Bluesky allows posting your own gifs now. Fucking. Gamechanger.

Decentralized social media like Bluesky gives users real control over their data and feeds. No single company can silence voices or manipulate algorithms. It's social media owned by the people, not corporations.

Bluesky Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

Decentralized social media like bsky.social matters because it empowers users with control, resists censorship, and avoids monopolies, fostering open dialogue, innovation, and healthier online communities without being bound to one corporation’s rules or algorithms.

I have also heard of complete deactivations. A friend of mine experienced this on mastodon.social.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,967!

Decentralized social platforms empower individuals by redistributing control, fostering true freedom of expression, and dissolving the monopolistic grip of centralized entities, leading to a more authentic and resilient digital society.
