Bluesky Backlash misses this point
Bluesky misses an opportunity to explain to people that her network is more than just her own Bluesky social application.
In recent weeks, a number of titles and posts have emerged Blosski growth decreasesif The network became A lot of a Left Echo RoomOr if that Users lack a sense of humorAmong the other charges.
Investor Mark Koban, even Financial supportedThe Bluesky Protocol application, in Proto, complains that the responses to Bluesky have become very hateful.
“The participation has moved from a big convoy on many topics, to agree with me or you are fascist Nazi,” he wrote in a After Bluezki. He said that this “forces” people to return to X.
Of course, the owner of X Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yakino benefited from these disorders, with the previous one send Bluesky is “a handful of Supergy Hall” and the last advertisement X is the “real” global city square.
The discussion on this topic is not surprising.
Without a more direct boost to view the broader network of applications based on Open protocol The Bluesky team was leading, it was just a matter of time before the Bluesky brand became fraught with the dove as a liberal and righteous 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, The adoption of Blosski increased When X users fled the statute headed by Trump Elderly Individual supporter. At that time, Bluezki was adding millions of users in a quick sequence, climbing from the north of 9 million users Almost September 15 million By mid -November then Only 20 million days.
This growth continued in the months that followed, as they like the senior Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Join the application. Today, Bluezi More than 36.5 million Registered users, 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, such as partisan applications on both the left, such as TelepathAnd it is right, like BarlerI failed to challenge x.
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 Bluesky protocol to build social experiences for specific groups – such as border It does for the Black Online community or like Gandar social It does for social media users in Canada.
There are also feed builders like grazing And those in Surfing This allows you to create dedicated extracts 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 dedicated summary for you A favorite television program or animalFor 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 Bluesky itself, A wider network of AT protocol applications includes Photo and video sharing applications, direct broadcasting tools, communication applications, blogging applications, music applications, film and television recommendations applications, and more.
Other tools also allow you to integrate extracts from Bluesky with other social networks.
OpenVIBEFor example, it can mix feed from social networks such as threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Nostr. Applications like Surfing and texture It offers ways to track publications 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.
