Bluesky vs. Twitter: A Fresh Take on Social Networking

As you all know, Elon Musk has completely ruined what used to be my favorite social media platform: Twitter. It’s basically a cesspool of bots and right-wing trolls now, so I decided to try out a new competitor. Bluesky was created with help from Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter. The reason I like it so much is because it reminds me a lot of OG Twitter. Well, I guess you could say Twitter doesn’t exist anymore. It’s been replaced by X, but now we have Bluesky, so that honestly makes me pretty happy. When you join Bluesky, your account automatically follows their official page, although you can unfollow at any time. When I went to their profile, I found the following message as their pinned post…

👋 Bluesky is an open social network that gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience. We’re so excited to have you here!

I tried joining other X alternatives such as Hive, Threads, and Mastadon. However, Bluesky seems to be the only one that’s really catching on, and I honestly understand why. I’m really diggin’ it. Anyway, I suggest creating an account on https://bsky.app/. If you join and want to follow me, my username is @ognickmarsh.bsky.social. Thank you for reading. Peace!

Edit: I forgot to mention that you can find the people you’re following on Twitter by using an extension on Google Chrome called Sky Follower Bridge. Check it out.
