If you're all about that nerd shit, and feel like BlueSky maaaaaaybe has a limited lifespan, I recommend having a backup account on dice.camp, the Mastodon server.
Even the minimum use case is "a backup locale for future regrouping, with no incentive to enshittify".

I started the party right outside the dungeon in the north west of the hex map—the Tomb of the Owl Lord. They delved in, killed the giant roaches, and descended through the well of illusory sludge with a rope.
