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*

Ars Technica
@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.
@Mitmee_Pie @SingingNala @arstechnica Lol, I never heard of blue sky either.
@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 @kjw810 Hey girl, Nicki and Vicki are here, but I don't recall their credentials and instances right off the top of my head. they are here, though.
@ANGELGIRL1976 @SingingNala @Mitmee_Pie @kjw810 Cool! I occasionally see a post from Nicki, but didn't know Vicki had set up an account out here. It will be nice to see posts from both ladies.
@MichiganPal @SingingNala @Mitmee_Pie @kjw810 Vicki doesn't post out here much, but she does have an account. I think she's @[email protected]. Hopefully I have that right.
@ANGELGIRL1976 @MichiganPal @SingingNala @Mitmee_Pie Could you give Vicki my name? I'm going to see if I can follow her now.
@kjw810 @MichiganPal @SingingNala @Mitmee_Pie Vicki doesn't come out here much. In fact, I don't think she's posted in months, but when she's out here again, I will.
@ANGELGIRL1976 @MichiganPal @SingingNala @Mitmee_Pie I found her and followed her.
@kjw810 @ANGELGIRL1976 @MichiganPal @Mitmee_Pie I found Nikki! *does a happy dance*
@SingingNala @kjw810 @ANGELGIRL1976 @MichiganPal @Mitmee_Pie and I found Pauline from this thread! I didn't know she was folowing me so I followed back, well requested to follow back. :-) yay! *happy dance*
@munchkinbear @kjw810 @ANGELGIRL1976 @MichiganPal @Mitmee_Pie Good people finding good people. More of this please. *beams happily*
@SingingNala @munchkinbear @kjw810 @MichiganPal @Mitmee_Pie I love it! It's awesome that people are finding one another out here.
