AK Lingus: I will say that, while I do enjoy posting here, the term "Bluesky elder" makes me roll my eyes

I will say that, while I do enjoy posting here, the term "Bluesky elder" makes me roll my eyes

there are so many uniquely annoying things about this place and the people who post here

what's really funny is that Twitter is the same way and people just got used to it until Elon took over and the number of annoying things exponentially increased

At least the user base there was big enough that you could generally avoid seeing the Tumblr-esque nonsense.

I think that's just baked in to the "uniquely annoying" part of being here now

I am a little liberated to post more personal stuff here since the audience is smaller and more, idk, curated...but it's ALSO even more self-serious and navel-gazing than the other site somehow.

Yes, all of that is true, and that speaks entirely to who got invites and who didn't

ye best start believin in bluesky elders…ye are one!

no! no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it’s like there’s not even any clear criteria for who is and is not a bluesky elder. the whole system is a mess

Elder Reform Now

“you say elder abuse like it’s a bad thing…”

if you see anyone using that phrase in earnest you are following the wrong people / lists lol

It is an inside joke made to provoke eye-rolling.

Let’s change it to BSOC (BlueSky Old Coot)

The pre-invite ones, like me?
