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)

i thought it was bee who coined bluesky elder

It's funny that Bee invented the term Bluesky Elder and she's not here to see it become an official designation.

Bee was actually the original Bluesky Elder. I think she’s the trope namer.

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…

also the person who coined the term "bluesky elder" eventually got ran off the site for being racist lol

when he’s a bluesky elder with 1000+ blocks under his belt

it was a year ago. certified Bluesky Elder moment (she is the one who coined that phrase about the first years on a month-old website)

Don't forget she coined the term "Bluesky Elder" !

i believe this was around the time sweetbee coined "bluesky elders"

the only thing i know about bee is that she was a """bluesky elder""" and that no one cares about her anymore
