After reading the quite interesting post Blue Sky by Mike Zamansky I decided to begin my gentle migration to Bluesky, a new and promising social media platform.

I completely agree with Mike’s opinion on Twitter as well as other social platforms. Like many of us, I migrated from Twitter – keeping my existing account there – to Mastodon. Unfortunately, Mastodon, largely due to its distributed architecture, seems to be more fragile than other platforms – recently, I have been warned that emacs.ch, a fediverse server I have been using for two years now, is about to shutdown in this December.

Sure, there is a (bit complex) way to transfer your Mastodon account to another server – and here is detailed explanation on how to do that. Perhaps, I will do that in the nearest future, but who can guarantee that the new server is immune from the same fate?

Anyway, Bluesky looks promising and I decided to give it a try. You can find me at @olddeuteronomy.bsky.social.
