Bluesky backlash misses the point

Bluesky misses an opportunity to explain to people that its network is more than just its Bluesky social application.

In recent weeks, a number of titles and publications have appeared on the surface to ask whether Bluesky growth decreases, if the network becomes more than the echo room with left -wing tendencies, or if its users lack humor, from other fees.

Investor Mark Koban, who even supported the Bluesky, has been in a video of the Bluesky Protocol, in Proto, that the responses to Bluesky have become very hateful.

He wrote in a post on Bluezki: “The participation moved from a wonderful convoy on many topics, to agree with me or you are fascist Nazi.” He said that this “forces” people to return to X.

Of course, the owner of the X Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yakino benefited from these turmoil, as the previous publication was that Bluezki is a “handful of the super -Judy hall screens” and the latter announced that X is the “real” global city field.

The discussion on this topic is not surprising.

Without a more direct boost to display the broader network of applications based on the open protocol that led the Bluesky team, it was just a matter of time before the Bluesky brand became full of a dove as a liberal and sigh alternative to X.

However, this Bluesky description is not a complete picture of what the company adopts – but it can become a stumbling block towards more growth if it is not corrected.

It is true that many of the first Bluesky users are those who abandoned X because they were not satisfied with his new ownership under Musk and the accompanying right. After the November elections in the United States, Bluesky’s adoption increased as X users fled the platform headed by the largest individual supporter in Trump. At that time, Bluesky added millions of users in a quick sequence, climbing from northern 9 million users in September to approximately 15 million users by mid -November and then 20 million days.

This growth continued in the months that followed, as senior Democrats such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton joined the application. Today, Bluesky has more than 36.5 million registered users, and its general data indicates.

Next, user conversations about news and policy on Bluesky will help determine the network tone because they have become dominant sounds. Of course, this can clarify the troubles of any social network, as partisan applications have failed on both the left, such as Telepath, and the right, such as Parler, in the X. Challenge.

Blosski more than its application

What is missing in this current narration is the fact that Bluesky’s social application is intended only to be one of the examples of what is possible within the broader ecosystem in Proto. If you don’t like the tone of themes that go to Bluesky, you can switch to other applications, change virtual extracts, or even create your social platform using technology.

Indeed, people use the protocol that flying a blossi to build social experiences for specific groups – such as Blacksky by Black Online or like Gander Social for social media users in Canada.

There are also feed builders like Graze and those in Surf that allow you to create custom summaries where you can focus on specific content that you care about – such as video or baseball games – and exclude others, such as politics.

Created in Bluesky (and other third -party customers) are the tools that allow you to choose the default extract and add others who care about you from a set of topics. If you want to follow a summary dedicated to your favorite TV program or your animal, for example, you can.

In other words, Bluesky is supposed to be what you make, and its content can be consumed in any better way.

In addition to the Bluesky itself, the broader network of protocol apps includes image and video sharing applications, direct broadcast tools, communication applications, blog applications, music applications, film and television recommendation applications, and more.

Other tools also allow you to integrate extracts from Bluesky with other social networks.

OpenVIBE, for example, can confuse feed from social networks such as themes, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Nostr. Applications like Surf and TAPESTRY provide ways to track posts on open social platforms as well as those published with other open protocols like RSS. This allows applications to withdraw content from blogs, news sites, YouTube and podcasts.

It may not be the team in Bluesky who directly build these experiences and other social tools, but highlights the presence of this brand of the broader and connected social network.

It shows that nothing more than just a alternative to Twitter/X, it’s just one application in a broader social environmental system based on an open technology – this is greater than just building X.
