Update: The Bluesky experiment is underway

Welp, I made my 1st post of substance on Bluesky. I linked it to my post here on authoritarianism. I switched my name from Germaine2 to Rational Politics. 


I tried to set up a feed called Rational Politics, but I'm unsure about how it works, or even if it works. That will turn out to be a work in progress, assuming I can ever figure it out. My son had to come over to help me get set up just to find the button to write a post. He intuitively understood immediately how to navigate Bluesky. But to me social media is strange and counterintuitive. 

The 300  character post limit was not as bad as I originally assumed. I'll just post a couple of sentences there and add a link to posts here. 

Now I need to figure out RegEx (regular expression) syntax to set up my feed parameters, whatever that means. RegEx is scary. 


A RegEx cheat sheet.


I've still got a lot to learn. I think I need to figure out "or", "and/or" and "and" to get set up. 

I have no idea about how this experiment will play out. I truly do not know what I am doing.
