What's your Bluesky profile?
>> How do I connect my Bluesky account? >> Create an app password inside Bluesky settings and enter it inside the dashboard.

That's an interesting idea. It looks like the ‘App Passwords’ function was created for such a service.

I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't do things like this. Aside from bridging being a clunky and awkward experience for you and your readers that fragments discussion, it's not a good way to promote growth in the new platform. The new platform needs its own identity and exclusive content to give people a reason to move there. If it's just a place to consume Twitter feeds through a different, roughly bridged, interface, there isn't much value there.

By nature of you wanting to copy your Tweets across, you see value in the new platform. If you believe in the new platform, you should actually move across. Readers who actually believe in your content will follow you. If you don't believe in the platform that much, stay on Twitter and don't confuse your readers with two platforms. Straddling the middle is awkward.

Agree, plus a lot of tweets will have replies to accounts that exist on Twitter that will be broken and a lot of Twitter-related talk
