OT - NO POLITICS Turn back the clocks edition

[Ladyfan]

I am loving Bluesky - for those of you that don't know much about it, you can actually choose feeds for specific subjects like music, books, news, astronomy, even dogs and cats! Just about any subject you are interested in. Your own feed just has your own stuff and the people you follow, no ads and you can block if someone trolls you. They will have growing pains because they are growing a million users a day right now.

You can also have a feed of the people you follow without re-posts. There are a lot of options, I discover more each day.

Most of the Bruins writers I follow are now on Bluesky as well, they are not leaving "X" at this point but adding the platform. The biggest issue is getting everyone re-connected but it is getting there.

I joined Twitter for the Bruins and have connections with fans around the world, I didn't join it for what has happened to it. It is frustrating when all you want is to follow what you are interested in. Bluesky is what Twitter used to be like, only better because of how you can customize it.

I joined but don't yet know much about how things work there.

Two trucks carrying $1M worth of tequila from Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar’s label vanish in apparent heist: ‘We worked so hard’

Looks like someone took a wrong turn at Flavortown.

Have my thoughts about the Bluesky migration but doubt those opinions are allowed here.

Stopped at Taco Bell for lunch and their cup transported me back 30 years

The decision to put my almost 15 year old dog, Muffin down (i hate that wording).

I don't want her in pain or to be suffering unbeknownst to us. I love her so much. She has saved my life more times than I can count. She loves her siblings. She loves her family. She loves the kids so much. She is a lover. I don't want her to waste away. She won't eat. She's lost so much weight. She drinks but she just wants to sleep. And my dog is active. This isn't like her. I know she's old. And I'm greatful for almost 15 years. But I swear she looks at me letting me know it's okay.


Please hug and kiss your pets. Try to be kind to eachother. I'll be taking a break from the board.

We have probably heard it all anyway on Twitter. It is deeply divided like everything else these days.

It is obvious to me what is happening but seeing no ads is a big plus on its own. Add the privacy issues with Grok collecting your info from your posts beginning very soon (you have to opt out, not sure how many know this), not being able to block people, which went into effect last week, it is a disturbing place.
