The emergence of Bluesky as an alternative social media platform has gained attention, with EU commissioner Thierry Breton publicly switching to the platform due to concerns about disinformation on the rival platform X. Created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Bluesky aims to provide users with more control over personal data and content moderation. Although still in its experimental phase, Bluesky has already garnered over one million users, including high-profile figures such as US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and fashion model Chrissy Teigen. However, it has yet to achieve a large network effect, and discussion of current events on the platform is limited. In the crowded field of social media platforms, Bluesky is differentiating itself by advocating for user and developer freedom and rejecting reliance on advertising and monetizing user data. Early reviews of the platform have generally been positive.
