With BlueSky reaching 1 million users in September, I feel like it might be worth further exploration. The platform has a waiting list, unless you’ve received an invitation from another member. An artist on another POD platform says she’s been a member for a few weeks and is getting some positive interaction.
I’ve continued to foster my X/Twitter account to promote Zazzle products, with 7.3K followers and growing, but I feel like it’s way overtime to try out another microblogging platform. Most of my regular rePosters/reTweeters have stuck it out there as well, which is one reason I’ve stayed, but I’ve noticed a decided drop-off in the last few weeks. My pinned posts are taking much longer to builid Likes and Reposts, and the overall volume is lower.
Meanwhile, I’ve signed up for the BlueSky waiting list, and if I’m able to set up an account, I’ll report back on early findings. Here’s an FAQ on the platform, which I understand is backed by ex-Twitter’s Jack Dorsey:

I use Pinterest heavily and sometimes use Instagram, but I get too many weird and assertive followers on Insta. I’m also considering Threads, but I’m not so sure about Mastadon because of its complexity. If anyone is finding another microblogging platform to be helpful, I’d love to hear more. Thanks in advance!
