Similar to Twitter, the programme lets users find and follow other people, publish images, and do other things. It lacks features like direct chatting and has a small user base (about 25,000) because it is currently in testing.
Bluesky was an initiative that Twitter initially backed in 2019 with the goal of establishing a new decentralised standard for social media networks. It broke away from Twitter in 2021 and has since evolved into one of the numerous new Twitter clones that have appeared as a result of Elon Musk’s takeover, including Mastodon.

The app gives users the freedom to choose their favourite social networking experience, according to a letter from CEO Jay Graber last month. He clarified:
“For developers, an open marketplace of algorithms will provide the freedom to experiment with and publish algorithms that anyone can use. For users, the ability to customize their feed will give them back control of their most valuable resource: their attention.”
Before releasing the app to the general public, Graber stated in a recent blog post that moderation is the last piece of the puzzle. He said, “We wanted to prioritise user safety from the beginning. The software will make use of both server-level admin-controlled moderation and automated screening. It will then enable “users to subscribe to additional sets of moderation labels that can filter out more content or accounts”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
