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

i thought it was bee who coined bluesky elder

bluesky elders

I’ve evolved into my Bluesky elder form

btw, yes I coined “Bluesky Elder” few know what it means I was referencing different groups from beta who had come to see Bluesky as a sort of safe haven, I was drawing attention to how it was becoming less safe at the time but everyone would rather think i was trying to be superior #BlueskyLore

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