Do you remember that social media (decentralised) platform that experienced such a boom one year ago? Yeah, Bluesky as for today, hit 40 M users (I understood that "accounts") and is trying to improve experience, such as:
adding downvoting system dislikes, moderation tools (e.g. detecting toxic comments),
Reviewers see Bluesky as a cleaner, calmer Twitter-like network with real conversations, a simple interface, and less algorithmic noise. Users repeatedly praise its decentralized, open approach, flexible feeds, moderation tools, and domain-based identity, saying it feels transparent, community-led, and especially useful for sharing updates and following developers. The main complaints are narrow but clear: some miss bookmarks, and the 300-character limit can feel restrictive. One founder, the maker of Flipboard Surf, also notes that Bluesky serves as infrastructure for their product.
A huge shoutout to Bluesky for creating an incredible platform! Dragonfly wouldn’t be possible if Bluesky wasn't open-source. We’re so excited to help bring it to more devices and enhance the experience even further!
One of the two networks I built on, Bluesky is one of the most exciting things happening on the web right now. I feel so lucky to have built Sill at a time when Bluesky has so much energy.
Probably the best microblogging platform out there. No algorithm to spoon feed you, and the ability to write your own algorithms to quench the firehose. Amazing feed moderation tools to see what you want. And honestly, one of the most wholesome communities I have ever seen in social media. Also, account verification is tied to your own domains so that you completely own your identity without having to pay the social network or provide personal information to them.
