Bluesky

Bluesky

日本語の翻訳は、英文の下にあります。

I have never been a big fan of social media. However, it is an essential tool for musicians in the digital age. I have taken the plunge and added Bluesky to my online presence. It seems to be a streamlined, safer, and user-friendly version of ‘the others’. I hope it does not go down the problematic road ‘the others’ have taken: algorithms that push posts/ads I really do not want to be seeing into my feed, a toxic culture of online insults and harassment, and a constant sense of being monitored so that someone can send me targeted ads.

I have only just joined, but so far it has been a nice place to encounter some new music and new people. I will continue to use the Facebook account, but I sense that Bluesky will be where I connect more with people outside Japan, and Facebook will be more for people in Japan. We shall see.

The way that Bluesky is set up now, it is possible to view the feed without joining. My account is here.
