One thing I need to do if I ever do get an invite to go check out Bluesky is to learn to get over myself more.

Any time I find out someone I know is still over at Twitter, I get this immediate visceral... judgmental reaction. Bitter, frustrated, exasperated. How could they go on supporting that site and its owner after the values they espoused? It stings.

And I fear that if and when I get an account at Bluesky, I'll encounter a list of names I haven't seen since I left Twitter, and will feel that... bitterness wash over me. I'll be the outsider coming in, all because I wouldn't stand by while Twitter became what it did.

I guess writing it down helps to nail down my exact anxiety a little bit. I think that I must just repeat to myself: everyone has a different story and everyone has different limits. Everyone finds something different in social media.

What won't change for me that I'll continue to at least try living up to my values.
