@zoecello Bluesky is a bit of an exclusive walled garden at the moment. No federation and invite only. Quite possibly wont be as likeable once the hordes are let in. Time will tell. To my knowledge there's no way to follow your Bluesky account or interact unless you are in the Bluesky club

@zoecello I'm on Mastodon (and already following your account!). I was leaving anyway, but was hastened when X killed access for the Twitter client I was using. I only follow a few select accounts such as yours via an RSS feed from a Nitter instance.

@zoecello @sarbarella Threads is promising future interoperability with Mastodon (or more specifically, Activitypub) so if you go with Mastodon, in theory you will be able to be accessible to your fan base on Threads without getting your hands dirty directly. :-^

[Evan @evmcl]

Well my Twitter client has not worked for a few weeks, and using the web page for this site is a big yeah, nuh. Feel free to follow me at https://t.co/Cb4dNLoONt if you do the Mastodon thing.

@SlenderSherbet My dad was a member of a saxophone quartet and I so wanted them to call themselves "The Sax Workers" but they wouldn't.

@lkmclellan I've been trying to find a reference to the original Coleridge quote (un-slightly modified) but cannot track it down.

@timelinize Do you even have software yet? Your Github account is empty, the URL in your profile picture doesn't exist. Where do we sign up? Would it be better to stop spruiking until you actually have something to show? #a #little #frustrated

@gabrielkahane Honestly, you're coming across like an ill-tempered clavier.

In the 1920s, new car sales were falling, so the industry promoted the term ‘jaywalking’ to blame accidents on pedestrians, rather than aggressive drivers.

@Dennis_E_Taylor You might want to look at getting your SSL (HTTPS) certificate sorted out. At the moment it is a self-signed certificate which brings up big scary warnings in the browser. Services like Let's Encrypt make it reasonably easy these days.

@VaughnVernon @ColinPear @adymitruk @EventModeling Nah, not reckless, just tiresome. Two days of following his sneering and I unfollowed again. I'm really interested in @EventModeling but he's put me off quite a bit. Knocking others down doesn't make you taller. Would rather hear more about the virtues of @EventModeling than this
