With Instagram's ridiculously broken scanning tech taking pictures down left, right and centre, I've been looking for an alternative and found Blue Sky, which so far looks promising.
Anyone else on there? If so, please do feel free to follow me!

Thanks for the heads-up
I have an account on Bluesky and another on Mastadon. I don't really use either of them ATM - still preferring to use my own sites instead, c/w "real world" networks of people I actually know and have interacted with - either on a personal or a business level. That said I am enjoying many of the posts I've read on Bluesky - none of the racism and other unpleasantness one sees on other platforms. It actually seems almost civilised! :-) Though no doubt that will change as more people use it. :-(
Nevertheless, Elmo seems determined to bugger-up Xitter and I suspect Bluesky will become quite important over the next few years. Added to which, the Distributed Social Network model is a very interesting one. For a start it has the support of the EFF (Electronic Fronter Foundation). And it's totally decentralised nature means that power-crazy foreign billionaires such as Elmo and Zuck cannot excerpt control over it. Thirdly it seems I can host an instance on my own server, and I find that a particularly intriguing idea - not that I'm in any hurry to so, any time soon.

Yeah, I like it's currently minimal and clean look, and the content filter settings seem very straightforward. I'll see how it goes.

BlueSky seems to have attracted scientists.

I like Bluesky!
But the automated moderation has concealed your second image.
I shall explore the interface.

Concealed I don’t mind.
Shadowbanning and all the IG crap isn’t worth putting up with.
