Bluesky takes strength as a rival of X: What makes it different

Bluesky is the new social network that seeks to position itself as the competition of X or previously Twitter. It was created by Jack Dorsy in 2019, the former director of Twitter, and shares many similarities with X.

The platform grew greatly in the last months of 2024, promoted by Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential elections of the United States. This is because the new owner of X, Elon Musk, expressed his public and financial support to his presidential campaign, so many people who do not like Trump decided to leave X not to support Musk. Since Elon Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, the social network was not the same. It began an important deregulation in moderation on the platform, authorizing for example the return to the network of accounts linked to ultra -right movements, as well as hate speeches, fake news, and trolls. Users were invited to the platform, but now anyone with an email address can create an account. In Bluesky there are selected feeds that only show publications related to a given topic. It works as the pages for you of Tiktok or X and shows you popular publications of users that you may not follow, based on your previous activity on the platform. This can help reduce the risk of seeing content that can be inappropriate or unwanted, since all feed publications must be related. Bluesky’s messages are called posts, although they tend to call them as Skeets, a combination between Sky and tweet. Publications of those of the users who cite them and hide the answers they receive, to avoid interacting with abusive users. The against this new social network is not all official accounts, for example of football news, they have a user so several Bot accounts imitate their publications of X in Bluesky.
