Bluesky Is Now Courting Threads Users

Bluesky, the decentralized social network cofounded by Jack Dorsey, created a Threads account to court users frustrated by Meta's moderation issues. Thurrott reports: This week, the Bluesky team also used Threads to share some tips on how to get started on Bluesky, how to get more engagement, and more. The company also emphasized its decentralized structure and more extensive customization options, with the app recently introducing a new theme font, adjustable font sizing, and the ability to pin posts on top of profiles.

Bluesky also couldn't resist to engage in some strange trolling this week. "We're not like the other girls ... we're not owned by a billionaire," the team wrote on Threads yesterday. Of course, this the post that got the most engagement on the Bluesky Threads account with close to 500 comments as of this writing.

Am I missing something by not using a service?

Just low doses of freedom with a sprinkle of data harvesting and a dash of communism.

Yes, you're missing beautiful young European women who could stalk you online. /s

Like the original internet

We're not like the other girls ...

A recurring meme on BlueSky is, it's small volume, well-educated subscribers: That means a lack of knee-jerk response, world-owes-me fanatics praising Trump or Q-anon.

Okay... it's still the Twitter format though, right? With the character limit which is only suitable for slogans and insults? The Q's aren't the only problem, or even the main one.

BlueSky is to SpaceX, what Threads is to X. Even though Threads is also owned by some delusional billionaire.
