Refreshing when viewing other apps; Drafts grayed out; A few missing features, need more interests

Bluesky should not refresh when I minimize it and open another app. This is so annoying, and I’ve lost writings because of this.

When I write a thread with multiple posts, save it as a draft, close it, and reopen the draft, all but one of the posts in the thread are grayed out, which doesn’t change even when I tap into them.

Threads need to still be scrollable even when there are deleted posts in the middle of them. Private accounts would be nice. There should be more interests to choose from. In particular, Math, Poetry, and Philosophy would be good to have.

It would be nice to be able to remove followers without blocking them.

The moderation system for artists still makes no sense.

Had potential until Bluesky Moderation ruined it.

I have had Bluesky since launch. It was a promising social media platform. However, Bluesky Moderation has selective enforcement. That is, their mods are VERY active and when they want you gone, they will go through years of posts to string together enough violations to bam you. Bluesky Moderation has also encouraged the weaponization of lists and dogpiling anyone that doesn't fit their narrow version of politics. Numerous friend's had been banned for posts over a year old. Others had been harassed by multiple users and BlueSky did nothing. Save yourself the headaches and avoid.

Wow

So impressed by this app I downloaded it thinking I would have to pay but no. It’s completely free to use and it’s like an upgrade from facebook.

Stop Censoring for election manipulation

Because I am atheist these people think my voice should be silenced when addressing what is clearly a theocratic regime. Stop censoring to accommodate your treasonous criminal cult.

Wish I could write longer posts

I don’t want to pay to write longer posts.

Needs social audio like Spaces

Won’t increase users or usage until it adds audio.

Account not found?

I don’t understand why I cannot log into my account or says that my account is nonexistent. I just on it yesterday with no issues what is going on?

Bullies/Extremists

A bunch of bullies on this app filled with extremists who only want one side of politics when both are wrong and right. Extremists should not have social media. Other social media way better

Nice

Ok

이미지 누를 때마다 정신사납게 창 크기 왔다갔다 하는거 수정해주세요..

블루스카이 이미지 10장씩 올라가서 너무 좋은데 아이패드에서 내 맘대로 창 크기 조절은 안되면서 이미지 누르면 가로로 길어졌다 세로로 길어졌다 하는거 너무 짜증나요 특히 갯수 많은 이미지 볼때 규격 통일 안되어있으면 휙휙하는데 차라리 창 크기를 최대로 키울수 있게하고 이미지 크기만 바뀌거나... 창 자체가 작아졌다 커졌다 길었다 짧았다 하니까 너무 짜증납니다;

Horrific management

It's run by the same people who ran Twitter before Musk bought it, and those were not great people (*not* a compliment to Musk). The people who own Bluesky hate practically every marginalized community and have the tempers of a three year whose iPad got taken away. I love having old twitter back but also it still sucks horrendously and it would be better if every creative left the platform to rot.

Bad experiences with this app

The tagline is just wrong, it’s no different from anywhere else. Same politics, same scammers, same everything. The filtering doesn’t work either since many people deliberately use ways to get around them like posting images with text in them.

Old skool twitter

Love it…

Design

Please change the design of the ribbon, it's inconvenient to flip through and look at the composition of the ribbon

Privacy Breach

Avoid all platforms that require ID.

Better than the others

Great microblogging site. Add photos, talk about your day, follow people, news or companies. Meet like-minded people. It’s a nice relaxed sharing site. You’re not getting ragebait stuff to make you click. It also allows you to block words to filter out your feed. It’s like Twitter back when it started.

Apple Vision Pro Native

A developer could make this an Apple Vision Pro native app in about 30 minutes. There is no excuse. The window should also be resizable.

👎🏼

How does any app today not have an iPad version, sticking the iPhone version on the iPad is garbage and plain laziness.

age verify problems

you can't browse much when things get randomly blocked, even the safest things. the age verification is done by a company known for constant data leaks, wouldn't be putting anything more than a face scan.. oh wait that doesn't even work.

Notifications dont work

The title. Thats all.
