Thanks! Here’s some information on Bluesky…
Social media researcher Axel Bruns said the platform offered an alternative to X, formerly Twitter, including a more effective system for blocking or suspending problematic accounts and policing harmful behaviour.
“It’s become a refuge for people who want to have the kind of social media experience that Twitter used to provide, but without all the far-right activism, the misinformation, the hate speech, the bots and everything else,” he said.
“The more liberal kind of Twitter community has really now escaped from there and seems to have moved en masse to Bluesky.”
Bluesky was founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey back in 2019, although it later became an independent entity. Dorsey has since left the company board and urged users to remain on X.
It claims to give people additional control over their online experience, although its real attraction for leftists is its apparent ability to “police harmful behavior.”
