I'm not going anywhere. I post here. I post there. I can do both.

I am DU through and through!! I’ll join in on Bluesky but this will always be my #1!!! DU has been my sane/safe place for so long - - can’t imagine NOT having this community!!

It’s more of a personalized forum.

anyway.

I have to refresh to get new posts.

The one that says new post seems to be for me to post something of my own.

a blue dot will appear on the Up arrow to the left of the posts when there are new posts at the top of the feed that you haven't seen yet as you scrolled down. Click that arrow to go to the top and see the new posts there.

Of course with the Discover feed, the assorted posts being shown aren't in chronological order (they're an assortment of recent posts Bluesky thinks you'll find interesting and will include some posts from accounts you follow, like Twitter's For You feed). ,Posts are in chronological order with the Following feed, which has the most recent posts and reposts from the accounts you're following at the top, added to the feed as soon as they post.

All those smug people dislocating their shoulders from patting themselves on the back for leaving the "bad" site for the "good".

The smugness is insufferable. A lot less of that here. Also the censoriousness is off the charts as well.

BUT I will be happy when X dies because I want Musk to fail completely.

Facebook is, in design, similar to the DU. BluSky, Twitter, Instagram, etc. are more like chat programs, similar to Skype, but with more ability to post images and videos. It is more 'instant gratification' than the 'bulletin board'-style thing we have here.

I have seen what Twitter and other such apps did to a few of the students at my school. To see such fragile egos on display was very disheartening. And, they would not listen when I tried to explain that these people are not their friends, and they would turn and devour the student in a second if it meant being accepted into the 'in' clique. Then, it would invariably happen.

I myself don't see the appeal. (And, I was an entertainer. )

Go DU!!!

DU and Bluesky are both good!

I may not post all the time, but it is the place I come first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

BlueSky is where I trash talk about General Hospital, because that is fun and escapist.

always continue to use DU. I need a lesson how to use blue sky.

I definitely like DU better.

Then just scroll on down. Be sure and check out New Feeds. Have fun, I really like it

There are a lot of journalists from the UK and Canada not much from here but we in the US only have script readers. Do a search in the search bar above Getting Started for App Version 1.94 if you don't see it they rolled out some new features today.

thanks. How do I find DU people??? I was just adding people I would follow, journalists as well as cable personalities.

I remember that thread. I will check that out.

...no issues here.

By the way, screw Xitter and anything Eloon.

Most people didn't think E.M. would so completely
change what he bought - Buy it & Break it

is

BlueSky allows many public figures, including elected Dems and good journalists, such as Jen Rubin of WaPo, to identify themselves and post messages directly to us. Love both sites.

Seems ok, at least it isn't a Musk controlled cesspool.

This place is like home. Even on our worst day we are better than the others. Just my opinion.

I've never come across ANYTHING that comes close to this forum.
thanks for all the hard work it took to put it together & maintain it.

Neither has changed my habits of winding up here the most.

Cheers,

DU can use some more members. I am recruiting.

I will eventually join Blue Sky but I will stay with DU as my primary site
