As
the
disaffected
disembark
from
X,
the
social
media
platform
formerly
known
as
Twitter,
they
are
landing
in
throngs
on
Bluesky,
the
X
competitor
that
has
seen
its
daily
traffic
grow
500%
since
the
election
and
that
shot
to
the
top
of
the
App
Store
last
week.
As
of
this
week,
Bluesky
had
surpassed
20
million
users,
adding
at
least
a
million
a
day.
A
fair
share
of
those
millions
are
arriving
from
law
and
legal
tech,
and
many
legal
tekkies
are
gloating
with
glee
over
their
feeling
that
Bluesky
is
a
return
to
the
good
old
days
of
the
Twitter
we
once
loved
and
spent
way
too
much
time
on.
I
finally
made
the
move
this
week,
and
you
can
find
me
there
at
bsky.app/profile/bobambrogi.bsky.social.
Here
is
a
sampling
of
what
others
are
saying
who
recently
made
the
move.
It
does
have
an
early
feeling,
finding
random
people,
into
random
things
to
make
my
timeline
more
varied
than
what
I’ve
had
the
past
8+
years
on
once
it
was
established.—

Place?Y’all,

Emotions

Hey,
y’all!
👋It’s
been
a
hot
minute.Have
missed
the
community
on
so
much
and
while
I’ve
really
enjoyed
all
the
time
I
captured
by
*not*
being
on
Twitter,
I
miss
you
people
even
more.I
think
most
all
the
LawTwitter
people
are
now
here?—

If
you
have
not
yet
made
the
leap,
this
Wired
piece
on
how
to
get
started
is
helpful.
Once
you
are
up
and
running,
an
easy
way
to
find
people
who
share
your
interests
is
through
a
starter
pack
—
a
list
someone
has
compiled
of
recommended
follows.
There
are
several
for
law
and
legal
tech,
such
as
one
called
AI’s
Impact
on
Lawyering,
compiled
by
Daniel
Schwarcz,
a
professor
of
law
at
the
University
of
Minnesota
Law
School.
You
can
also,
as
Joshua
Lenon
recommends,
use
the
Sky
Follower
Bridge,
which
finds
people
on
Bluesky
whom
you
followed
on
X.
When
I
first
began
using
BlueSky,
I
tried
the
Sky
Follower
Bridge,
but
found
that
the
legal
community
had
not
migrated
en
mass.
That
changed
last
week.I
just
re-ran
it
and
found
1000+
accounts.I
recommend
all
early
adopters
try
it
now.—

I
tried
it
and
it
worked
well,
although
there
were
a
number
of
“false
positives,”
where
it
matched
someone
by
name,
but
it
was
the
wrong
someone.
Not
a
problem,
because
you
can
choose
whether
to
accept
its
recommendations
of
people
to
follow.
I’ve
also
tried
Threads,
the
X
alternative
from
Meta,
and
it’s
never
quite
clicked
for
me.
Bluesky
feels
much
more
like
the
Twitter
I
once
knew
and
loved,
and
already
the
community
of
legal
tech
and
innovation
people
there
feels
more
vibrant
and
connected.
As
Willie
Nelson
might
say,
Bluesky
is
smilin’
at
me.
