40. It's not a FB alternate. But neither was Twitter.

At least that's my opinion. Twitter is mostly for breaking news before the media has time to write an article. It's good for emergency stuff. Fortunately much of the media is on BlueSky. I like that you don't have to be a member to read posts and comments. My Democratic House member is not yet on it. Neither is my Democratic city council member. They're still just doing twitter and fb.

I also have two fake Keanu Reeves following me...

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
