Blue Sky not dead yet

The Spectator claimed yesterday that Blue Sky (the social media platform) is dead. And that it is now a nastier place that Twitter.

If you're a right wing toll, then perhaps it is, as there is no algorithm​ that boots your profile due to engegemnt, good or bad.

On Blue Sky, people block you, so you are invisible.

I have been on Blue Sky some 18 or so months, and pretty much the same group of people, friends, contacts, organisations I met in those first few weeks are who I engage with most now.

I have seen no drop in activity, the opposite is true, of course.


And needless to say, I have not felt the need to block anyone, no one has been an arse, it is a place of bloom-scrolling, not doom-scrolling.

Many liberals or left wing folks left Twitter, leaving it to become a right wing echo chamber, so they were unable to trigger the libs as much as before.

So it goes, so it goes.

Blue Sky is old fashined in that you thrive though engagement, as accounts are mostly real people.

Facebook now delivers what its users didn't sign up for, suggestions for new clickbait, rather that what your actual friends are doing.

I only stay on Faceache to run my orchid group, otherwise its useless.

But Blue Sky is in rude health. Without swearing.
