Bluesky is in some ways a Twitter clone. The usage of the previous title is deliberate – Bluesky seems and seems like Twitter used to earlier than Elon Musk paid an ungodly sum of money for it and turned it into… effectively, one thing else.
However Bluesky isn’t just a clone. It’s constructed on open rules (the tiny workers of the corporate boasts concerning the platform being “billionaire proof”). It doesn’t attempt to power an algorithmic feed on you, like each different main social community proper now. And it has cool authentic options like customized feeds, labeling, and sturdy block/mute performance.
Give it a shot and also you would possibly discover that the majority of your favourite follows (moreover Android Authority, in fact) are already on the platform. On the time of this writing, Bluesky has 24 million customers and rising steadily.
Don’t fear, we’ll proceed to be lively on Twitter/X serving our 1.2 million followers, though the platform has grow to be more and more hostile in direction of the media.
We’re saying this in a really sensible sense. X has made it more durable for publications like Android Authority to search out success on its platform. X not solely throttles posts with hyperlinks, which means nearly all of our posts get artificially restricted publicity. It’s additionally made it more durable for us to even publish – the free tier of its API, which we’ve been utilizing to auto-post our articles, has not too long ago been restricted to only 17 posts per day. So if you happen to’ve been counting on X to comply with all our articles, it is best to look into different choices like Bluesky or an RSS reader.
