[BCMA] alternative social media

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi,

VIVO will be moving to Bluesky and we are currently reviewing a few other
platforms.
Bluesky has a lot of engagement  by archivists, historians, academics,
artists, and communities relevant to our archive. It'd recommend setting up
a personal account and exploring and see if you think it's right for your
archive.

Sincerely,
Karen
