Bluesky backlash misses the point | TechCrunch Not only is Bluesky more than just a Twitter/X alternative, it's just one app in a wider social ecosystem built on open technology.

"What’s missing in this current narrative is the fact that Bluesky’s social app is only meant to be one example of what’s possible within the wider AT Proto ecosystem."

What is Bluesky? @divy.zone @herbie.bsky.social @livernpants.bsky.social @kenjennings.bsky.social

They’re both doing ok aren’t they?!❤️

Bluesky is taking off. A Mainer helped design it. South Portland native Devin Ivy is part of the small team that built the social media site winning over users fed up with Elon Musk's X.

So proud of this guy 💙 @divy.zone

Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth The fledgling social media site has been flooded with new users since the election. It hasn’t all been easy.

“The state of most social platforms right now is that users are locked in and developers are locked out. We want to build something that makes sure users have the freedom to move and developers have the freedom to build.” — @jay.bsky.team in @nytimes.com
