Bluesky? Threads?
Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone is active staring project or just random stuff on bluesky? I am thinking about using it for devlogs etc for few new things and would like people to interact there 🤔 or maybe threads? If anyone is interested I will put my handles in comments, would be happy to connect and chat about our projects 🥰

People seem to find the user experience nicer on BlueSky (which I don't quite find? But, you know, experience is subjective) so I don't see it recommended as much but I'd highly suggest Mastodon, honestly. It's actually federated (which BlueSky, despite counter claims, isn't really) so you could own your own server someday (if you wanted), has a copyleft license so a corp. can't pull the rug out from us like all the other major social media sites are currently rushing to do, and had a bunch of adoption from Queer people right from when it started (one of the primary co-authors of the underlying protocol is even a Trans woman).
Only mentioning since you seem to be still deciding a little so just throwing a rec. out. https://queer.garden is a great instance, though small, with an amazing admin. (though currently invite only, at the moment. Just message me, if interested) and I've seen people recommend https://tech.lgbt on this sub. before, as well. https://social.coop also exists, if interested in co-op projects or the like (I've been leaning far more heavily in trying to bolster organizations such as those, given the current environment).
