On Twitter I was provoked and drawn into an unhealthy, compulsive, time wasting engagement. Musk is turning it into a dangerous narcotic. Bluesky feels like a more positive space. I am slowly recuperating here.

I mentioned on Threads that I like Bluesky and someone who had tried and abandoned it asked me why I liked it. This was my response.

A Threads reply from me. Text reads: “Moderation tools are good, I get almost no harassment/abuse there even if I dare talk about ‹gasp!> progressive politics. There are lots of really engaged people talking about science, lots of journalists, and lots of fun people just posting clever stuff. There's no default algorithm so l only see posts from people I follow (and their shares) — it's WAY less annoying than the stuff that gets algorithmically pushed to me here. It's a chronological timeline. And I get good engagement/discussion.”
