My track record with “Social Media” to date, has been an interesting one; for example I got permanently banned by Twitter (back in the days when it was “Twitter” as opposed to “X”) because I rhetorically told a troll who had been giving me grief, to “drop dead”. Evidently the wise content-censors on that platform are not familiar with English slang, or maybe they don’t care (pick one).
Whatever the reason, my account on Twitter ended up going the way of the Dodo, and, frankly, at the time it didn’t bother me much… subsequent events, that is, Elon Musk’s purchase of the platform and his turning it into a sewer of nonsense conspiracy theories and toxic far-Right propaganda, have only confirmed in my mind that leaving Twitter was not much of a loss.
However, I obviously wasn’t alone in parting ways with Twitter, as many of that platform’s former users, including Yours Truly, have migrated to a new Social Media system that seems to be a little more sensibly managed. It’s called “BlueSky”.
While it has a few rough edges (notably, the interface is sometimes “down” due to server issues), BlueSky has so far shown a lot of promise and I plan to stick with it for the time being at least. Should you wish to look me up, search for :
