For those of you that peruse the Writer Beware Blog, Victoria Strauss had posted that she's leaving Twitter. Hence, I've just followed her on Bluesky.
Here's what she said:
When Twitter changed hands last year and morphed into X, I was one of the people who swore I壇 hang on until the whole thing went down in flames. But after struggling with the ongoing devolution of the platform over the past year, including a precipitous decline in engagement for my tweets after I was de-blue-checkified, I知 joining the exodus.
As of January 1, I知 mostly off X. I値l still be tweeting WB blog posts, in order to keep my account active and protect my username (if you read down to the last entry in this post, you値l see why I知 concerned about misuse), but I will no longer offer publishing news, opinions, scam alerts, or warnings.
Instead, I値l be transferring my WB activity (plus the occasional cat or garden photo) to Bluesky (@victoriastrauss.bsky.social) and Threads (@victoriastrauss), where I致e been getting comfortable over the past few months. Please join me on either or both! (I have some Bluesky codes, if anyone wants one: email me, first come, first served.)
