Apparently this is an alternative to Elon Musk's X, as per the article below. It seems to be becoming a haven for more left-leaning folk on the political spectrum, who have had enough of Musk's platform.

Bluesky looks decent so far. It looks and feels like Twitter, but without the nazis, bros and trolls.

I wouldn't call it 'left-leaning'. Adam Kinzinger, a moderate conservative, said he hopes it will be a platform for both left- and right-wing views. Remember there's a big difference between conservatives and fascists (which the fascists want us all to forget).

Twitter is a toilet. There is no longer any more reason for anyone to have an account on Twitter than there is to have an account on Gab or Parler.
