There are a lot of people in tech communities who started using BlueSky, and so far, it looks pretty good.
I don’t know whether this platform can become another Twitter for Tech, but it’s a good idea to start building a backup or slowly replacing X with a new home.
I tried to stick to Twitter as much as possible but my feed has been so bad lately BlueSky seems like it might be a good idea now so just registered!
Here’s my profile: roaakdm.bsky.social
I also use Mastodon, but BlueSky has received much attention from Tech communities, and people are pretty active there. If that gets more attention, maybe it’s nice to have you also on BlueSky. @munificent
I’m confused and admittedly have been a bit (OK a lot) out of touch with my Flutter friends. We started fluttercommunity.social where we’re hosting our own mastodon server. People started using it.
Then BlueSky popped up.
I agree that X (Twitter) has become a toxic place - and part of why I’ve been out of touch. I’m so sick of the ads and garbage that shows up. Which is why I was thrilled when Simon and Scott setup the aforementioned fluttercommunity.social.
Please explain why use BlueSky over the site that was setup just for our community. Also explain how it is better than Twitter.
Bluesky started as a spinoff of a development project at Twitter.
It has got a lot of traction recently with I think more than 12 million users now. Many users say it offers better moderation tools than mastodon and in general it’s easier to use.
No adds. And no algorithm. In general very friendly. A bit like Twitter a long time ago.
