Check out Juan de la Mora. I’m not sure he is on bluesky yet. But his Instagram is jdlm1.

I can do it outside of the apps (in premiere). That takes much longer and it’s really not the same. Something nice about not being so produced. TikTok was so efficient and smart. And the best was the algorithms. The people we connected with there was just amazing. Like you. Good to see you here too!

That's so true!
