I make guitars, bad jokes and occasional furniture. But mostly I say what ever pops into my head.

I used to work for them on a UK campus back in 2006, it was at a weird time. There was the skeleton of two massive office blocks just left half built because they were already in decline.

24.01.2025 16:32 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think the idea has spread (I don't know how true) that it's a way of boosting people they like into other people's feeds. The belief being that BlueSky doesn't show you to people you don't know.
However I'm sure my "Discover" feed is full of strangers. And strange people.
I would also like to find more British people on here (non-celebs). Whenever I have a quick, guilty flick through Threads the vibe is just so so different and more homely than Bluesky
24.01.2025 07:10 โ ๐ 11 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 4 ๐ 0Yeah, I think for the small-guy (or gal) BlueSky isn't a patch on Threads, certainly in terms of having actual conversations with people. I fear I might find myself returning after my tantrum storm-out. One day.

23.01.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I was about to joke "developing others" sounded like a euphemism for needing a poo... then saw "European Movement UK" in your profile and I'm going to have to be childish all day now.

I wonder how long you could drive in a roundabout before a cop would be like hey you can't do that anymore.
