Bluesky Made Me Prove I Was An Adult—Here’s How I Did It
British users are being made to verify their age on sites such as Bluesky, Reddit and X. Find out how the age verification system works here.
"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

"Bluesky elder" The term is used only in two ways: -as an insult -as a joke It came from someone using it back in the day as if some sort of benefits and privilege should come from seniority and time spent on the site. It was, and still is, properly mocked. A meme I made about it from way back:
