So I went to check out this blue sky thing. It turns out I actually created an account on there at some point under my real name. I don't remember doing that, it had to be before Aussie.zone became a thing.
So I log into it, I'm already following half a dozen accounts that I don't remember following (but they're awesome people like George Takai and Mara Wilson).
Review:
It's all about US politics and how awful Twitter is. Boring. ๐
I never sent a single tweet in 15 years, I can't see myself using this site either.
Nath, if you're not into microblogging in general then perhaps you won't ever be interested in it, but the algorithm is easy to train or replace with a custom Feed, moderation lists like this one let you mass block confirmed dickheads, and labellers like this one let you filter everything else.
Given your skillset you might even enjoy creating and publishing your own custom feed algorithm.
I have a Blue Sky account just to secure a user name and... Just checked and got the same experience. I'll never use it either unless it becomes good for data mining.
