so much social media and one big reason I am sticking to DU is I don't have to expose myself to the right-wing propaganda on other sites. It just upsets me more, which is not good for my mental health. I have "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

This guide from illustrator Debbie Ridpath Ohi (She and Michael Ian Black partnered on a popular book series that began with "I'm Bored" - 2012) is good:

Bluesky has you like 10 posts and follow seven people or organization.
One thing I followed was the guardian. Little did I know I'd get tons of articles about football and troubles in small British towns that I'd have to plow through before I'd get to things I'm interested in.

It's a little over whelming.

As a matter of fact, I'm gonna unfollow NBC etc....
You can search for local electeds and candidates, local media, etc on BlueSky. ( They aren't all there.)

I can get NBC stuff just about anywhere, anyway.
