I decided not to open a #Bluesky account because I have my hands full here following a chronological feed on a variety of topics. I was able to transfer enough friends I knew from the old Twitter when I made this account to get going, and now I just follow anyone who posts anything I find interesting or insightful, to keep building a network.
#Mastodon is at heart a hobbyist platform, and that's okay. There's no imperative for growth at all costs, or even forcing consistency between instances.
