Diane K24: Agree but with one caveat. Armando, who is technically inept, writes at length and at well here on 'Stack but seems to be limited to a small writing space on Blue-Sky. Am I missing something?

But, I am subscribed to you on Blue-Sky (or at least have tried), but I seem to receive your messages only through the 'Stack. I get your 'Stack messages loud and clear through email notices, and don't think I miss any of them.

At any rate, those are only platforms, and are as good as the people on them -- 'Stack is a mixed bag, because there ARE some bad hosts on the 'Stack, but for that, we have some of the best with YOU, with Daniel W. Drezner, with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, with Crystal-Lee and Gloria Horton-Young (She who stirs the storm), with CellyBlue, Alicia Norman . . . so very many good people.

Kinda like the Gospel, Diane, "Where you go, I will follow!" Winnie: Arf, arf!!

I joined last week. I like it. It's nice to have people who are uplifting and enjoying the calm. I've been going back and forth, but I am not posting on X. I just want to make sure this holds. I have seen MAGA comments on moving to BlueSky to troll us. Hopefully, there won't be many, and if we don't engage, maybe they will just go away. Thanks for the advice of making a list of those you blocked. Good thinking!

Julie, I wish I had started a list on Substack earlier. It’s time-cinsuming but during the next 4 years ugh, we may need a list.
