The last two weeks has seen a surge in Bluesky usage. I’ve been on Bluesky a little since the early days. I liked the service, but I didn’t know any one there. That’s changed now and lots of friends are posting. That’s added a touch more complexity, so I figured I’d share how I’m handling my personal social media right now.
- I post everything to Micro.Blog. It shows up on bobwertz.com.
- Micro.Blog crossposts everything to Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon.

- I selectively choose when I want to engage with social media on whatever site feels right at the time.
A couple of random things I’ve noticed lately:
- My Instagram usage has dropped dramatically, probably because it isn’t tied in with my crossposting system. They don’t have a posting API, so no one can really add that connection....
