Seconded. Left 11 months ago now, when my followership on Bluesky was a fraction it is now, the engagement here was equal to if not better than what I got on the former Twitter, plus a markedly lower number of cryptofascist shitbags in my comments, which was sure as hell a plus.

Has anyone listened to the audiobook for The 48 Laws of Power? It's hilarious. My wife and I were laughing all the way to Vancouver and back on a recent road trip.
