Context collapse, eternal September, and social backlash. "Bluesky Elders" was meant to refer to communities of early adopters fleeing X and other platforms, my original post was bringing attention to social changes relative to traditionally oppressed groups of early adopters and the effects of Bluesky's "Eternal September" as the platform scaled. (It was quickly taken out of context and mocked and used to fuel a targeted harassment campaign against me) (Context collapse in most mentions)
It’s a running joke based on a now thankfully forgotten poster who coined the term to describe those of us who’ve been here since the earlier invite era. To be clear, “bluesky elder” is deliberately self-deprecating and derogatory. The joke is it’s not a good thing (she thought it was tho)
"bluesky elder" is a meme from when some of the oldheads who signed up for bluesky in like january saw the influx of new users and tried to make a power play for manners and rules and what you can and can't do. Bee was in this and she called herself a "bluesky elder" which everyone promptly laughed
MOST IMPORTANTLY coined the phrase "bluesky elder", which i am still blocked by her for riffing on lol anyway, predatory skeeviness of the site back then makes a lot more sense when viewed in the lens of an online version of this vanityfair.com/news/2018/01/brotopia-silicon…
