It’s been a few months since I wrote about missing Twitter.

Since then, I became a semi-regular user on Mastodon but after Threads launched, I went all in there. It was good to see “big accounts” show up there but what I have missed are two big things I relied on Twitter for – real-time stuff where we watch sports and awards shows and react together as a community, and DMs coupled with easy access to customer support.

Having said that, it is still a good place to get news and I have made some new online buddies there.

After being one of the early users of Bluesky and not liking it much, I have started enjoying that service too. The biggest draw is that a lot of my old Twitter friends are actively posting there. It’s been good to interact with them again. Plus, it has a good emphasis on real time stuff and I have seen some popular sports reporters also start posting there.

So for now, my Twitter experience is a messy combination of Threads and Bluesky.
