       | A quick reminder: If you are on the Fediverse (Mastodon, etc),
       | you can follow people on BlueSky and vice versa using Bridgy Fed
       | (https://fed.brid.gy/).
       | 
       | I personally haven't tried it - if people know any interesting
       | folks to follow who are on Bluesky and not Fediverse, please post
       | their profile!
       | 
       | Also, some people on Mastodon are/were very much against this
       | bridge. I believe the author made some effort to make changes to
       | appease them. So don't be surprised if you see articles from 5
       | months ago attacking it.

       | This whole BlueSky thing feels inorganic.

         | Feels very organic actually considering it has been around for
         | a while now and people are only now beginning to move to it in
         | droves.

       | 
       | I'm curious why that is. I didn't see anything in either of them
       | that should be particularly controversial.

       | If bluesky continues to grow, the porn and bots will arrive

       | help here?
       | 
       | Regardless, I think this is more the new home effect. When you
       | move into a new house, it is clean and you design it with
       | intention. Over the years, it gets dirty and you start to hate
       | the art you liked (people you followed) years ago.
