Opened this account so I could follow ALL the starter packs that kinda interest me. I hope at least most of you are as cool as you seem.

I have a freezer drawer devoted to ice packs for this. (Though I don’t strap them. They’re bean bags, the weight keeps them in place)

The mix of people I know IRL to people I don’t know is off-balance. I’m happy to make new friends, but here I feel like I’ve walked into a mass event where I know almost no one.

To be quite honest, I am following too many accounts here. And though they all came from bookish starter packs, there are too many for me to get a sense of individual identity and continuity: it’s just an endless patter of disparate posts, even if most of them are bookish.

Well yes, but what I’m comparing in this thread isn’t X vs Bluesky but two different approaches to starting an account in Bluesky. The primary account I’m referring to is @gilibug.bsky.social

To be honest, I’m surprised to get any response at all here. Hi, Hayley! 👋🏼

I’ve never had a post on the primary account, or indeed on the old Twitter, get as many likes as this account got for the post about my header photograph being a miniature and not a real library.

And yet… despite the impressive numbers, this account lacks human connection. It’s socially sterile.

And I have a bunch of followers on this account alone. The numbers went up so fast, I thought the followers here might surpass those on my primary account, but then someone put my primary account on a popular starter pack and my followers there doubled overnight…

I had one big, viral post here. >
