Yes easy to use no adds no hassle and best of all no feeds you don't want. I left Twitter years ago to many commercials. And the none stop feeds I didn't ask for so let's see where Blue Sky goes and the new Twitter name is ridiculous X 🙄
You have free speech on any platform, but what you don't have on x, is control of what you see. The algorithm feeds you what it wants based on what will make you react. What people want from bluesky is the freedom to see what they want on their feed. Whether that is what will happen, is yet to be seen.
You actually don't have free speech on any platform. First off, every social media platform requires that you abide by their Terms of Service, which has rules about what you can and cannot say (this is a good thing, believe it or not). Secondly, free Speech is a US concept that only applies to government control of speech. Social media platforms are not the US Government, and thus, the part of the Constitution that covers Free Speech is irrelevant, no matter how much Elon riles you up about it.
@@TheCreatorDashboard Nah I understand looking for alternatives that's fine but you need to be honest. Already Bluesky has issues banning people for being rightwing while allowing underage hentai.
A couple of days ago, I have fully migrated from Twitter to BlueSky. And it feels like such a breath of fresh air. It's like Twitter, but without any of the constant nonstop toxicity and negativity. I haven't deleted Twitter, because there's still so many TH-camrs, Game Devs, Artists, Voice Actors, etc, that I get my news from there. Luckily more of those people are moving to BlueSky recently, and once they're all there, I will finally be free of Twitter's shackles.
The problem with these "new" social media platforms that look and feel like Twitter is that, in order for it to be a proper alternative, everyone needs to move over there. A lot of people want to stay on Twitter so they don't have to manage another social, and their followers want to stay because that's where those people are. What I think would be an amazing concept is just 1 platform that combines all socials into one. Just the same concept with making posts, following, etc. but all on one site where if you put something on your profile it automatically puts the exact same thing on all other social media. Besides this, all comments you get on any of those will appear on that one site. This allows creators to keep posting on the platform they prefer and allows followers to choose their platform without loosing the ability to follow the people they want to follow.
@@Silacide yea I completely agree, a lot of people need to jump across to. Your idea is exactly what they are trying to accomplish at AT protocol, one audience for all, however everyone will need to eventually transition over to the new network for it to work, which all the big players like twitter are going to try and stop
I know that current social media has trained us to think a certain way about these platforms, but having been apart of what is known as "the fediverse" for a while now I will say that your idea is exactly what it accomplishes. The AT protocal is fairly new so there aren't many other platforms that have adopted it, but once there is more usage platforms can choose to "federate" with other platforms that they enjoy. It's really hard to explain, but for the best example I would point to Lemmy, which some Reddit users moved to during that debacle a while back. Basically you can join an instance that matches your views or create your own if you are so inclined. Lemmy is just a backend so you can spin up your own self hosted instance and you will still be able to see posts from other instances if you want to. Again, it's hard to explain without experiencing it for yourself. The basic gist of it is that no ONE company controls the protocol itself so you don't have to worry as much about them making rules you don't like, you can just jump to another instance that you do enjoy. In essence you are joining a completely different social media platform run by someone else with potentially no affiliation with the platform you came from. With the AT protocol that will eventually include you being able to take all your followers with you, but currently you cannot do that with any of these protocols because they have not had enough development time.
Please why cant i pass the third stage of the sign up process? Im not a bot and I don't have eye problems. This is so annoying. Ive been stuck there since yesterday . Does anyone have a clue what's wrong? Why do they keep telling me "Please try again later"
Did you read Bluesky's ToS? Some lawyer read it and pretty much flat out stated that Blue Sky's ToS is worse then X's for a creator standpoint if anything its far far worse.
@@Coramelimane that's a great question! I have t been on the platform long enough, and I haven't seen anything specific on it just yet, if anything comes up I may include it in follow up news
Currently the censorship is based on your personal preference. What I mean by this is that there is no algorithm outside of the interests you dictate; yes you have a discovery feed, but again, that is based on the other feeds you follow. Unlike with Twitter and many similar products you can have as many feeds as you want and even create your own custom hyper specific feeds if you absolutely feel the need. In addition to this quotes and blocks are specifically designed to put the poster in control, which I view as an upside but I could see how it would be abused in some ways. What I mean by this is that blocking other users completely nukes them from your feed and if someone tries to use your post as ragebait by quoting it you can dissociate the quote from their post. In essence you don't see what you don't want to see.
I see where you are coming from with this, but my counter point is that over 1.2 million people have moved over to Bluesky at this point, and I doubt ALL of those people are going back. Especially creatives who are notoriously protective of their work. It's not just that the block feature is being changed, but also that Grok can now scrape anything you post on Twitter. There used to at least be an opt out function, but now you can't even do that. As a side note, while I haven't experimented with it myself I believe you can post inline videos from TH-cam/Twitch/other media platforms that are greater than a minute long just by posting a link. I understand the frustration, but it is most likely because the developers of Bluesky don't have the funding to spin up extra media servers right now. Also, anyone worried about Jack Dorsey can at least rest easy in the fact that he has left Bluesky.
Creatives didnt even read the Terms of service. Bluesky in their TOS states that all work published on bluesky is their property. That they have the right to use works placed on Bluesky for advertisement. These creatives left because free speech was allowed back on Twitter and these artistic types who believed themselves to be a majority in discourse suddenly found out they were a minority of a minority.
i'm still a bit sad that it is BlueSky the one taking off and not Mastodon and the ActivityPub protocol despite both being federated in much of the same ways and ActivityPub being more widespread. at least the AT protocol is free. there's hope it isn't another case of Chromium with the JPEGXL format or another case of the triple E.
I left X/Twitter to boycott Elon. I do not like that man I know me as an individual won't do much, but I don't care. I joined BlueSky after the election and I'm loving so much. Feels like Twitter before Elon came along!
You left X because opinions you hated stopped being censored. You then realized that no, your opinions are not a majority as you were lead to believe but such a tiny minority that it freaked you out. Leftists ideology cannot withstand the constant scrutiny of common sense that is why you beg for censorship. Dorsey got put over a barrel by the EU, India and Canada to censor Americans and those center right in other nations. This censorship created a false reality for leftoids that they started to believe they were the majority. Bluesky just reported that they got a uptick in reports, your all too busy trying to cancel each other. Have fun eating your own tail.
While I agree, it is much easier for a person to block others than it is to create a new account. If you have the level of dedication it takes to create a fifth account after I've already blocked you four times then I don't know what to say, I guess I can just block you a fifth and sixth time. That being said, blocking is very much in the favor of the poster on Bluesky, to the point where those users are nuked from your feed entirely.
Thanks for the info! I think I will stay where I am. From my understanding these guys have been around for a while and the only reason people are moving is because they are upset and this isn’t the first time. I moved the last 2 if not 3 times people got mad at Twitter and I was left in a ghost town wasting my time in last two “new Twitter” If it was good for real then people would be moving to it for that alone. Nah I am good and don’t feel like trying to keep up with the Jones for a 3rd if not 4th time, good luck 👍
Im still not convinced it’s a good time investment tbh. Hell, i dont think any other social media worth that either. But to be frank with you unless EVERYONE gonna go there especially some of the accounts made by my country’s government then yea im gonna go butterfly. Tho I’m gonna give it a shot just to see the appeal of it.
Same. Just the thought of a billionaire having the media and laying off the staff to change the algorithm towards himself makes me sick. So welcome Blue Sky. 🙏 it is really good. 😂😂😂🎉
I just made my BlueSky account today. I always repost fellow authors' book posts an hour per day, and today I noticed I only had about 20 reposts of my Pinned Tweet, and usually I have about 100 per day. I was like, "where did everyone go?" And when I messaged a few friends, they were like "we're playing around with Bluesky right now, you should too" lol! I would say it will be fast and easy to rebuild your community if you're a part of the #writingcommunity. I think Bluesky without all the ads, and politics, will be a happier place for authors, artists, and musicians. :) Will follow back fellow authors. We have to start dominating our #writerslift again!
@@TheCreatorDashboard Ok that's a good idea to have more control over your feed. When it's not empty, ofcourse. But how does the company survive with no ads?
I mean, staying on a service that tries to exploit your hard work is just stupid, simply leaving will cause it to either change or die, that's the rule of the big corporations. I flat out have never used Twitter, and it feels like a mess just looking from afar.
Blocking not "blocking the person" isn't an issue. Actually anyone can bypass that by logging in with a different account and bam they can read w/e you are hidding from them.
oh man 3.7k views?! that is so many people that'll move to blsky just for the next 2 days before they realize it's just fellow trash and goes back to the trash bin that is twitter where they belong!
Well this didn't age well...Apparently it's been taken over by people who are unhealthily obsessed with politics, and most disgustingly, a problem of degeneracy involving children.
Only picking up on this now. At 02:47 I say "former CEO of Twitch" but I meant to say "Former CEO of Twitter"
