ELON, WHY DID YOU KILL THE BIRD PART 2
The Great Twitter-to-Bluesky Migration: A Murmuration of Digital Proportions
There’s something magical about watching a murmuration of starlings in the wild. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of birds swoop and swirl in perfect harmony, creating a mesmerizing dance in the sky. Lately, I’ve been witnessing a similar phenomenon, but instead of birds, it’s my Twitter mutuals. And instead of the open sky, they’re flocking to a new digital horizon: Bluesky.
Yes, folks, the great Twitter-to-Bluesky migration is in full swing, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Like starlings sensing a shift in the winds, users are taking flight from the increasingly chaotic Twitter aviary and landing gracefully on Bluesky’s shiny new branches. It’s as if someone yelled “New vibes over here!” and suddenly everyone I follow decided to pack their bags and flutter over.
Now, let me tell you—keeping up with this flock is no easy task. One minute I’m scrolling through my Twitter feed, and the next I’m hopping over to Bluesky to see who’s joined the party. It’s a digital murmuration in real time, and I’m here for it. The energy! The excitement! The *vibes*! It’s like watching your favorite band play an intimate gig after years of sold-out stadium tours. Twitter was the stadium; Bluesky is the indie venue with killer acoustics.
Of course, no migration is without its challenges. For one, there’s that pesky CAPTCHA test standing between you and your Bluesky debut. It’s like the bouncer at the door asking, “Are you *really* a human?” (Spoiler alert: I failed it twice. Twice!) But once you’re in, oh boy, it’s worth it. The interface is clean, the conversations are fresh, and there’s a palpable sense of community—like we’re all early settlers building something new together.
Speaking of community, let me introduce you to my #EduSky crew. This is the group of educators, thought leaders, and innovators who’ve already made the leap to Bluesky. These folks are sharing ideas, sparking discussions, and generally making the platform feel like home. If you’re an educator or just someone who loves learning (and maybe a little witty banter), you’ll want to join us. Trust me—this is *the* place to be.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking: “Do I really need another social media app?” To that, I say: Yes. Yes, you do. Because Bluesky isn’t just another app; it’s a fresh start. It’s a chance to leave behind the algorithmic chaos and rediscover what social media was always meant to be—a space for connection, creativity, and maybe even a little fun.
So don’t be that bird sitting on the fence wire, watching everyone else take flight. Grab your invite code (or patiently wait for one—trust me, it’s worth it), pass the CAPTCHA test (you can do it!), and join us on Bluesky. The digital murmuration is in full swing, and there’s plenty of room in the flock.
Until next time, keep soaring high and rocking those new vibes. See you on Bluesky!
