Goodbye X, Hello Bluesky

I was driving behind a Tesla and I saw a bumper sticker before the American election that said:

"I BOUGHT THIS CAR BEFORE I KNEW WHAT AN IDIOT ELON MUSK IS"

I've been on X (formerly Twitter) since 2007.  I was working full time at Ritchie Bros. and was in a meeting when they were talking about social media.  I had never heard of Twitter.  When the meeting was over I asked the university student I worked with what Twitter was about and she explained it.  I immediately signed on and have read it more than once a day, every day since.  I find the local news, traffic information, transit changes and Canadian politics interesting.  On November 6th, I unfollowed all the American political personalities and media outlets.  I find it has really changed since Elon took it over on 2022.  I don't like what's happened to it.  Time for a change.

I've started to follow Bluesky.  It's a social media company that says they are not controlled by a single company.

Here is an interesting article:
