I use bluesky and so far have no ads and lots of great journalism and academic lists to follow. Greatly enjoying it, feels like Twitter 2012 or so.

I have Bluesky, but I don't really like it as much. The UX is much better than X, though.

On Bluesky, I pretty much follow the people I followed before they fled Twitter. However, they complain a lot about politics, Elon Musk and the US President Elect on their timelines. I could unfollow, and do in some cases, but that would pretty much leave me with nothing to read on Bluesky.

That, and the weird tech people I get the most value from still post primary on X, so I deal with it.

These are the current events, so it isn't unwarranted to see complaints.

They will likely complain about other things in the future :)

That's their right, but complaining about it isn't how I like to do things. I don't want to read it, so I don't visit Bluesky much at all.

I'm more interested in ideas on how to adapt and move forward and be resilient. To be honest, I kind of like to have my beliefs challenged as well, and X provides that.
