After the election, I created this Starter Pack of pro-democracy accounts. I update it regularly. I hope you find it useful!
New to Bluesky and used to getting your news from Twitter? Well, stop, collaborate, and listen! Here are a bunch of outstanding accounts that will keep you tuned into the news without having to get Elon's emotional semen on you. Let me know whom I missed!
Writers, artists, weirdos. Personally, I'm hoping that two out of three ain't bad.
A big list early adopting news sources / explainers on Bluesky. There are MANY more folks here, but I could only include 150. Please note that I'm not a journalist, but I can't remove myself as the creator of the list.
This is a group of posters from Balloon Juice and other accounts that I enjoy. Join me on bsky!
