From October 2022the platform Twitter underwent a large series of changes with the control of Elon Musk. Without going far, the magnate decided to change the name to xthus killing the iconic light blue bird.
Despite this loss, the sky remained the same and not only that, but it gave rise to the growth of other platforms such as Bluesky. This platform had emerged as a project of Twitter Inc. back in 2019, although in 2021 it was legally separated.
It is now in the hands of Jay Graberits CEO, and can be found on both devices Android as Apple.
The exponential growth of Bluesky, the competition of X
Bluesky now has more than 26 million registered users worldwideand the secret is that it is a network that began with the intention of being decentralized, where people have a little more control over content.
In addition, The saturation of advertising, paid features and uncontrollable violence caused a migration from the popular X to this new app. Another reason that distances the faithful from the former Twitter was the use of this social network as a political tool, of censorship and with social criteria and discrimination, which caused the freedom that it had initially been granted to be lost.
Paradoxically, Bluesky seems to be the lost paradise for those nostalgic users which, unlike the technological push that has been carried out in recent years, seems to want to go back.
Bluesky Features
Bluesky is characterized by having decentralized algorithmswhich are managed by the users themselves, as well as moderation lists distributed (moderation lists) for blocking accounts that violate the community standards.
On the other hand, it has taggers (labelers) that work to classify content more directly. Likewise, Bluesky is a public benefit corporation (Public Benefit Corporation), which seeks a balance between lucrative purpose and positive social impact.
