# I was missing people I used to follow on Twitter
2024-11-21
Many years ago, long before the current #Twitter drama, the company introduced an algorithmic feed. We were told that it was optional, but in reality, the app kept pushing us out of the chronological timeline. I remember hating that decision and implementation so much, and in hindsight, that was probably when my love for Twitter started fading away.
#Threads's approach is an even worse version of what Twitter started back then. That's why I never liked it. #Mastodon was my choice, as it had a chronological feed, but also because of the many cool things the #ActivityPub protocol can enable.
Then came #Bluesky. Why they didn't choose to collaborate on the ActivityPub protocol instead of creating yet another one is beyond my comprehension. The good news is that the #ATProto is also decentralized, at least as far as I can technically understand. But there's more.

For some reason that I also don't comprehend, people, institutions, and companies are recently choosing it as their new home. I know what triggered the move, but I'm not sure why Bluesky was the choice of so many people at the same time. Anyway, as [[vladcampos.com/Timeline/Blog/2020s/2024/2024-11-19 • I'm still perplexed as to why so many users are choosing Bluesky.|I previously mentioned]], that means that nearly half the users I was following on Twitter are now on Bluesky.
All the above means that I'm back to a feed that I absolutely enjoy. As you know, I'm a [[vladcampos.com/Static/Timeline System|Timeline]] person. But I'm not only following posts happening in real time (a.k.a. in the correct order); I'm now interacting with others in a way I was missing without knowing.
By the way, I just created a [Started Pack](https://go.bsky.app/Qp4SXQg) of some of the hardware and software I have in my [[vladcampos.com/Static/Toolbox/My Toolbox|Toolbox]] that have already joined Bluesky. If you don't know what a Starter Pack is, please watch the video below.
