It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was talking about the release of Meta’s text-based social media app, Threads. And as of yesterday, I’ve gained access to another Twitter (or is it X now?) competitor, Bluesky. This one is from Twitter co-founder, Jack Dorsey, and is currently invite only.

I hope to see you there!
