Bluesky: The Future of Social Media?
Userlevel 7
Badge +3

Bluesky's goal is to create a more transparent, decentralized, and user-controlled social media ecosystem. The aim is to give users more control over their data, and to reduce the power of big tech companies over social media.

I am curious to know what you think about this new development. Do you think that Bluesky has the potential to change the way we use social media? Will it be successful in achieving its goals, or will it face challenges along the way? What are your predictions for the future of social media, and how do you think Bluesky fits into that picture?

Let's start a discussion in the comments below. Share your thoughts, opinions, and predictions about the future of social media and Twitter's Bluesky.

I signed up for the waitlist, but really as a due diligence procedure. It’s pretty clear that twitter is kind of a mess, but losing a whole social platform would be a detriment. If there was an indication that Sprout was exploring integration, it would be probably make an impact.

I’m really eager to try out Bluesky. I’m on the waitlist. Does anyone have Bluesky invites so I can start testing it?

I’m not on the waiting list, but my coworkers are.

It seems like a slow process to get on BlueSky, but the company is ensuring that all its bases are covered before having too many accounts rush to join at once. When compared to the overnight launch of Threads, which has plenty of active accounts but is missing many key features, it’s hard to say which launch-style is best.

If anyone is on both Threads and BlueSky, I’d love to hear your take and comparisons.
