"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

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)

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

i thought it was bee who coined bluesky elder

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)

Sweetbee is claiming og users are being harassed for their shitty posts and called them "BlueSky elders"

I’ve evolved into my Bluesky elder form

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

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.

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