Beer in the Bluesky

Well before the pandemic, well before Nazi Musk bought it, I had seen enough of Twitter.  (If you call it X, I can’t help you.)  Considering that I barely saw the tip of that nasty iceberg tells you the distaste I found.

After that, I was hesitant to jump to whatever the next ship was preferring the still troublesome but less loathsome Meta twins of Facebook and Instagram.  But I thought that I should check out the latest big thing in Bluesky to see if craft beer fans might find community and information there.

But for me, there just isn’t much there. I want beer news and beer views but if you type in Firestone Walker there is no official account, just random people who have mentioned 805 or tires. I searched for a few L.A. breweries and nothing. Yes, there are beer writers and cool people there like the North American Guild of Beer Writers but the whole set-up is not intuitive with loads of dead ends and separates items into groups instead of letting me curate stuff. One is called BeerSky which seems to link mostly to posts about beer pong.

Maybe I am just not built for this or Twitter. Your mileage may vary but it is not helpful to me.
