Bluesky is not the same as twitter anyway. I rarely post on twitter, but it's great for breaking news. (I don't post on BlueSky either, I just have the account to follow people who dropped twitter for bluesky)

Been on FB forever.

Just a few weeks ago, I found out that google is bad. But I've been with Google for 25 years! Threw yahoo in the trash decades ago!
Been with Chrome browser for about 10 years. Dumped Internet Explorer around 2009 and went with firefox. Then, I had both Firefox and Chrome for awhile, then Firefox got real buggy and been with Chrome since. I've also got gmail for mass mailings because I can't afford constant contact and can't figure out mail chimp. I use Google docs and use Google Drive all the time too. I share alot of documents because we do team work. The Texas Democratic Party does everything via Google Docs.
