Three months ago I decided that it was no longer morally responsible to use Twitter and deleted my account. Missing the ‘conversations’ on social media and not having a platform to inform the wider world about the latest Bournemouth University Research Blog, I joined Bluesky a week or two later. The first thing to note is that Bluesky is: (1) much quieter; (2) much more civilised; and (3) much more North American based. Moreover, at a personal level, I have not really managed to accumulate that many followers, yesterday the total stood at just ten!
