That's really interesting. I'd never even heard of #Blacksky. I will definitely look that up.

Though to be honest I haven't spent as much time on Bluesky as I intended.

I know that's an odd thing to say here, but i intended to give #Bluesky a fair shot. I haven't really found the time to do that.

I'm getting a little bored of #social #networking if the truth be told.

I'm not sure why I've spent so much time here really. I think it's mostly the culture.

Bluesky, from the times I've been there, seems like a place where you're meant to follow people, rather than actually talk to them.

I've seen numerous times where people will ask others why they're replying when they don't follow them.

That seems more like grandstanding than networking to me. It also seems a bit rude, like they can't be bothered to actually interact with people.

I'm not sure why this place is so open to discussion. Sometimes it just comes down to #serendipity I guess.

On #atproto's #Blacksky #community:
"I've often described Blacksky as a "dotted lines" community (flexible, opt-in, and not fully walled‐off). It is a community that is loosely defined. There's a feed – but it's public so anyone can view it. You can include just a single post or have all your posts show up. Even then, it only aggregates posts and you're never exclusively posting to only the #Blackskyfeed."
