You can now follow us on Bluesky!
This will be a mirror of Twitter for now and hopefully some day we can migrate to it permanently.
Also a reminder that we're also on Mastodon which is our most active feed in terms of community engagement.

Thanks! I found you there recently.
I'd encourage you to ditch Twitter sooner than later. If you are mostly sharing links then I think that kind of content is getting intentionally down graded anyway.

We're making slightly nicer posts normally, but indeed I've noticed that the engagement is much lower on Twitter compared to Mastodon or even Bluesky.
I guess they reached that stage of enshitification where only boosted posts get some engagement and everything else get buried. That will only make it easier to leave once the Bluesky account is active enough.

Yes, I should say that I appreciate the nice graphics you are using in the posts. They are really well designed, so kudos to whomever is making them.

Nice, you may also want to switch the in-ap Help menu option from "Join us on Twitter" to point to one (or both) of the alternative platforms.

Do you have plans to verify the jpolinapp.org domain with bluesky so that the domain name shows up as @joinlinapp.org info here How to verify your Bluesky account - Bluesky
We could do this but what would be the benefit? One problem is that it would change our handle so we'd have to update all the links

The main benefit would be much easier to search and find, but more impotently, it would protect you from account impersonation.
As the guide states, "This is one form of verification on Bluesky, and it's our version of a "blue check." We highly recommend that official organisations and high-profile individuals do this."
