Does anyone use Blue Sky, X, or any other similar place? I had Facebook years ago but it got so weird and I'm not a fan of Zuckerberg,don't like the way he does business. I used to Tweet before it turned X but I got hacked there. I'm thinking of getting a Blue Sky account.

I'm on IG and Threads. I have a blue sky account but it's too boring over there so I don't use it,

Haven't opened Facebook in a few years. I had a twitter account when it started but closed it after a few years.

I use X a lot. I love it. I use FB. It's good for hometown, community type events and things. I haven't heard of Blue Sky.

I still check a few accounts on Blue Sky but it has slowed down, unfortunately. I don't go on Twitter since it became the X cesspool.

I scroll IG but don't post.

I think Threads is Zuckerberg🤷‍♀️ I never got into FB.

Ive been on Twitter/X for over a decade. I signed up for BlueSky but i forget about.

All social media are cesspools but i go to Twitter/X daily just the same.

I've been on Instagram for years and Reddit more recently. I lost interest in X when it stopped being Twitter.

Twitter is a sewer. I follow a few accounts on Blue sky.

I haven't gotten the hang of Reddit yet. I have trouble finding current discussions that interest me.

These forums could shut down is one. Two, more varied discussions are possible.

Blue Sky was started as an alternative to X--supposedly to be more positive info. But as I said it's boring so I pretty much lost interest.

Threads is my favorite. Yes, it's part of IG so owned by Meta, but I find it a lot of fun and definitely engaging. One doesn't need to follow anyone to get a feed of interesting posts. You can also change your algorithm by posting "Dear Algo, please show me...." whatever you want.

Because it's so random, I sometimes find myself crying laughing at the very witty comments. It's 99% anonymous because people pick a user name so it's even more hilarious.

Thank you @Tori3569 . I think I will check them both out.
