Let me share with you something interesting...

May 2008 is actually the date I joined Twitter (or X or whatever it's called). And during this time, there was a new wave of 'social media' sites that were popping up. And they were all kind of confusing for yours truly. But Twitter was different for me.

I 'got it' as soon as I saw it. I joined right away pretty much during the launch phase of the site and organically grew my account over the years. It was truly the social media platform that I felt the most comfortable in. And over time, I've enjoyed my time on it.

It started out as a fun experience, turned into a place to get news as soon as it broke and then became a place where politics ruled the discussions. Ohhh and don't forget the crypto bros!!

Honestly it was just becoming a place where I wasn't enjoying myself anymore and since February of this year, I've literally used it to keep up on sports news. And then the election happened...

And people on the 'left' felt like they needed their own echo chamber...Excuse me, their own social media platform where they could talk about. Left wing stuff I guess. But this is where Blue Sky kind of filled a niche...

It bills itself as a decentralized social media platform that got it's start within Twitter itself but then became independent a few years ago. I don't even know what that means to be honest because...Decentralized? How? Don't care honestly, but it has become the rage over the past few weeks online.

Let me be crystal clear...I love micro blogging. The entire concept of Twitter always attracted me because, as we have seen, bite sized content is easily digestible and sharable. You don't need to be a Pulitzer prize winning author to attract a following there. It just feels right as a social platform. Which is why I'm so attracted and bullish on $LEO Threads. And we'll get back to that in a second....

But as for Blue Sky, I decided to dive in today and give it a try.

I was hoping for the username jongo, but it was taken...lol So I settled for...

jongoh

Creative...I know.

Anywho, shameless self promotion, if you are not yet on Blue Sky or want to give me a follow, it will be reciprocated :)

But here's the thing about these Twitter clones to me...

Nothing comes close to Threads. Because as decentralized and 'hip' as Blue Sky may be (today) it'll never be true #web3

And the only home I've found in my years of doing this stuff is right here on InLEO specifically with Threads.

We've got such an awesome community, and platform right at our fingertips. And sure, these new platforms are fun, and you never know what may come of it...But for my time and attention, it'll be $LEO :)

How about you?

You find potential in these new Twitter clones? Or what about apps built on the blockchain like InLeo?

As for Blue Sky, I'll poke around....But as soon as I start seeing the political tirades, I'll lose interest real quick lol
