OK, so I’ve now done plenty of Starter Packs. Now it seems I have to start unfollowing folk from those Starter Parks as they turn out to be dull or completely awful. It’s the Circle of Life.

We are all still introducing ourselves to each other. But I don’t have a starter pack and there’s no easy way to say what I am or why you should follow me. So I decided to do some threads from my life. Here's the first thread. It’s about fear, or what is sometimes called football.

Just seen I'm now following a thousand people - I might have been hitting the starter packs a bit too hard.

This is really helpful. I love the starter packs on Bluesky but they are also prefabricated echo chambers. Bluesky needs to embrace the non-toxic right if it's to fulfil its potential.
Here’s a centre right starter pack, for those who want to ensure this isn’t entirely an echo chamber go.bsky.app/DNLEPTu
