"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…

i thought it was bee who coined bluesky elder

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)

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

I’ve evolved into my Bluesky elder form

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)

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

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

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

I have identified a new syndrome: Bluesky Elder Envy (BEE). And I have it. 😁
