Leave a Review Bluesky Social
A strong start
This app's growth and updates have been incredible. I really love how we can see behind the curtain through direct dev communication and I'm looking forward to seeing the federation launch! Haven't had this good a time with strangers on the internet since Yahoo! Chat shut down. Allons y!Raantuva
Fast app with incredible community
The app is great, if still early. I’ve found a few missing features but few bugs. It’s amazing to me how fast the small team behind it pushes out updates. It’s an impressive display of decentralized technology. Gives me hope.
I love the community so much. Kind and welcoming. The right mix of weird and funny. Really has quirky early internet vibes. At this stage, compared to twitter, feels more like connecting with people than promoting products.Show lesstmoreysa
Like twitter if it were run by liberationists.
BlueSky right now is in beta. The only way in is for someone to invite you.
If you act a fool and harass people you will be swiftly banned, and the person inviting you will receive scrutiny.
This is all new right now, but the result is a space that’s actually free of right-wing troublemakers, fascist trolls etc. it’s… nice?Show lessMykola Bilokonsky
Is this really a beta?
So full stop I’m not a tech person. Got invited to beta test bluesky off the waitlist. While there are occasional times the feed loading gets wonky- and I’ve experienced this a handful of times in the past week- it’s also very intuitive, and it evolves while you are using it. It has been hands down the coolest social site I have ever been a part of. Remember watching Star Trek? Or your first MySpace experience? When you were like-technology really can’t be that ‘human’. Scrolling through Bluesky is that kind of experience- where you feel connected to humanity. And yes- the users are pretty legit amazing. Being a beta tester I went in there without any connection or community- and was quickly embraced by so many. If you’re lucky enough to get an invite, don’t sit on it.Show lessfacestealer
Amazing
The app is a little buggy, but it still gets 5 stars for the work the devs have been putting in and the community they’re curating.
It really feels like early social media. People are talking about their actual interests. People are having fun. There aren’t 200 people yelling slurs at you every time you post. It’s the most wholesome and welcoming online experience I’ve had in a long time.
It’s idyllic and the fact that everyone is happily overlooking any faults with the tech should tell you how badly we needed a space where people are normal.Show lessChristiolson
Great app for a highly promising platform
Super easy and simple to use and connect with the rapidly growing community. The platform feels like the fun, freewheeling, early days of Twitter and is migrating many of the best people over, without the harassment and drama (so far). Very highly recommend.alexwinter
Great social platform
I downloaded this app in the hopes of being able to replace Twitter, and I have been pleasantly surprised. It is still in its early stages but the community is amazing and honestly compared to Twitter this place is like a well-tended serene garden. There’s no unwanted bots, no trolls, and people are free to be themselves. All around, Twitter feels like anarchy compared to here.Show lessNI-reviewer
The bursting bubble.
Great news for those who are thin skinned and can’t handle the first amendment. Where all the “bad people” are not present and you get to see and read only the things you agree with. The safe space of the easily offended and 🌈 folks; the “I’m right, you’re wrong” crowd fighting for “freedom of speech” but only when it aligns with their beliefs. I get it, triggered individuals need their platforms too, but it’s sad to see the continuing decisiveness being rooted deeper and deeper in the hearts and minds of what we once called our fellow human beings.Show lessMiggs83
Jack is a sell out to musk & thought musk had bright ideas
A reminder to all! In 2019, Jack began developing Bluesky. Twitter invested $13 million, and nearly four years later, Jack launched an app without blocking, GIFs, videos, DMs, or verification. Your block list on Bluesky is public data; anyone can view it. But on the superior site, known as Spoutible they don’t publicly display your block list & they have all those features and more. Forget bluesky it will not be any different than Twitter nowadays. So check out a spoutible instead.Show lessReview guy 467
Really hope this takes off
Been using Bluesky for a couple of days. Completely sold. It’s a strange and wonderful feeling to use a social network where you feel in control. Development is pretty rapid right now with new features being added all the time but I think the potential to replace any other social media I use is there.Show lessfeliznavdavid
