Interesting how BlueSky suddenly seems to bloom -so many people signing up, apparently most moving from X-Twitter, that apparently the servers couldn't cope at some point. I haven't deleted my twitter accounts yet but I only am keeping them for a while as placeholders for my handle, just in case. It is kind of a pity that one single megalomaniac narcissist could destroy what was a useful tool, in so little time.

In any case, there's also Mastodon although at the moment BlueSky seems to be gaining more traction. And there's Threads but that's potentially problematic as it is part of Meta/Facebook's Zuckerberg's empire of dirt.

I'm on all three, FWIW:

Much less bad than many of us anticipated. Now to wait and see how this unfolds.

Did I mention the other day that it felt like I'd strayed into a wrong path in the shift-space of the possible universes? It gets weirder and weirder by the hour, out there.

The user icon, btw, is from the book by Neal Stephenson, 'Anathem', from where I also got, amongst many other peculiar ideas, the (probably) wrong usage of the expression 'shift-space'

Back in the day I had started a livejournal in Spanish with the idea of using it to keep in touch with my friends and family in Venezuela and other 'hispano-parlante' places. It failed. I had to set up accounts for some of them, the conversation started and.. tailed off into nothing in less than a year. Then Facebook happened. And then Whatsapp happened (whatsapp, what's that, how I hate thee). I still kept the account as a sort of diary in Spanish and because there were a (tiny) few people I had no other means of keeping in touch with.

I've just imported it into a Dreamwidth account. I won't bother closing the LJ account, just let it lie in limbo. FWIW, although I can't imagine many people here would be interested in following that, this is the address of the DW replacement for it:

DW won't allow me to use an ñ in the account name.. bah :P
