So the Twitter virtual hive mind is splitting. Half of us went to Mastodon. The other half of us are going to Blue Sky. I dislike needless fragmentation. But, I get it. *sigh*

@SingingNala @arstechnica I've never even heard of blue sky before I read this post. I suppose I'm even more out of touch with social media than I thought.

@kjw810 @SingingNala @arstechnica just saw another post about it. It looks like you have to be invited to join it? It's weird. as I was typing this, I wanted to say that I read another tweet, but that's not accurate any more.

@Mitmee_Pie @SingingNala @arstechnica Lol, I know. We're so used to saying tweet. I wouldn't have even joined mastodon except that I found a server that suited me.

@kjw810 @SingingNala @arstechnica I only joined mastodon because it seemed like all the cool kids were doing it. LOL!

@Mitmee_Pie @kjw810 So glad you did. I've encountered quite a few of my gal pals from the 2010 Twitter era like Lynn, Annette and Pauline and of course Kelly here. I think the only ones I'm still waiting for are Vicki, Nikki and Stephanie. So glad you could join us here. I love seeing posts from my Twitter girls popping up in my timeline. And it's so much easier to read what all my friends are posting about because my timeline here is way less cluttered.

@SingingNala @Mitmee_Pie And I'm so glad to have found you again!!! My timeline is pretty cluttered here, but the local timeline is not, so I find lots of people.

@kjw810 @Mitmee_Pie I know what you mean. It's one reason why I love having an account on this instance. It's so easy to find conversations with people I know.
