7. Bluesky is an alternative to Twitter/X, NOT Facebook.

There is no real alternative to FB in terms of keeping contact with family and friends. Sorry, but for that reason I am not going to give up FB. I have photos I share with family and friends, and I like the different NON-POLITICAL groups over there. It is the best way to maintain contact. I have Instagram, but I rarely use it. I don't care for and don't use TikTok.

I still use Twitter/X because there are groups and topics I like to follow having nothing to do with politics. I am also on Bluesky.

Not everything is about politics.

I think Elon changed the algorithm to push conservative posts. The government needs to look into it imo. TheDudeCa Jan 2025 #27

Still laughable. Twitter is mostly Russian bots. FSogol Jan 2025 #28
