Sunday Morning Open Thread With Music by Carly Simon

Good morning, everyone. I hope you enjoy today’s tunes.

Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.

Join us, please.

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time over on the site Bluesky. I just signed up there last week. It’s described by many of its users as being like Twitter was back when Jack Dorsey still owned it. One thing I love about it is the fact that right wingers who try to post there get mass banned before they can spread their bile. They have no patience for the MAGA points of view. They can hear them everywhere else.

Another thing I love about Bluesky is it has separate feeds for topics that may have followings. It’s like Mastodon in that respect. I think Bluesky has the best of both that site and Twitter.

 

They are getting refugees from Twitter at the rate of a million or two a day. Still, the site is working relatively smoothly even though they only have a relatively tiny staff.

Editor’s Note: Morning Open Thread is looking for community members willing to take on hosting duties—whether it’s a day here and there or a regular weekly post: Saturdays and Tuesdays are open. If you’re interested, just reach out to P or Officebss. And thank you.

So what’s on your mind this morning?
