Dril is now on Bluesky
The invite-only decentralized Twitter different has been gaining steam in current days — I’ve seen lots of people I observe on the bird-themed social community begin to present up on Bluesky. However the Twitter clone may actually start to really feel like a New Twitter now that Dril, the Twitter legend who lately gave an interview as his real-life human self, has formally joined the platform.
There’s nothing on Dril’s Bluesky profile that makes it completely clear that it’s actually him. (He hasn’t tied a website identify to his deal with, for instance.) Dril has posted as soon as, but it surely’s a particularly not-safe-for-work put up that I cannot be together with right here. However Paul Frazee, a employees engineer at Bluesky, confirmed Thursday that the Dril profile @dril.bsky.social is the actual deal.

Dril’s look can be notable as a result of he’s been dunking on Twitter for the previous short while and has been a key advocate of the #BlockTheBlue marketing campaign to dam folks with Twitter Blue verification checkmarks. I don’t know if Dril goes to maneuver full time to Bluesky — I’d truthfully doubt he’ll within the close to time period given the platform isn’t publicly obtainable but — but when Dril stops posting on Twitter, I’d guess you’ll find his shitposts on Bluesky.
