Maltimore<p>Like many others of you on here, I'm just sad and tired of people migrating from Twitter to <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bluesky</span></a> or <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Threads</span></a>, just to be predictably disappointed.
