I've been using Bluesky casually for the past week and, as someone who was never a regular Twitter user, I don't see the point of using these kinds of social media websites. Sure, Bluesky is definitely less toxic than Twitter, but I still haven't found a way for it to add value to my life.

I don't use any of these services actively, but we do all end up being passive Twitter and maybe in the future Bluesky consumers.

That said I've done my usual due diligence and created an account very obviously under my IRL name now to hold down the username.
