25 of the funniest posts we’ve seen on Bluesky this week
For the past week, around a million people and brands have signed up each day to the social media site, Bluesky, with a smaller but significant number deleting their Twitter/X accounts.
Despite the arrival of some of the more annoying accounts that people were trying to avoid – we’re looking at you, Kemi Badenoch – there’s a fresher atmosphere than on the other place, and there’s a lot of funny stuff to be found.
