The only thing I'm ever going to use this account for going forward is to remind people that I am on BlueSky. If you want to bask in the glow of my microbloggy thoughts, that's the place to be.
I know the network effects feel hard to replace, but the vibe over at BlueSky is great and you can still lurk on Twitter for your faves who have stayed behind...
