A mass exodus from X
So when the American billionaire Elon Musk took over the helm of X (previously Twitter), many users since complained that they are bored with the constant transformations and the constantly escalating controversy in the given social network. Between the block feature being phased out, paid verification, and the recent hate speech, a lot has said their farewells to X. The most recent one that could be pointed out was in the United States and it is marked by many far-right supporting figures such as Elon Musk who joined Donald Trump. When people like Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephen King emigrate en masse, dissatisfaction is obvious.
Rapid growth for Bluesky
By credibly marking itself as a Bluesky, the firm has noted a rise in its business. It is obvious that simplicity of Outlook, reminding me of the previous Twitter, and the presumed healthier community are compelling. Stakeholders state that they receive more satisfaction and better quality engagement. Unlike X, toxicity is highlighted and here Bluesky speaks of pleasure and community. Such trends have gained tens of millions of new users, which signals a new era for the social network.
This intervention defines a philosophy of decentralization.
One of the biggest differences for Bluesky is that users have the right to create own servers and have freedom to post whatever they want. Begun in 2019 by Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of twitter, this project was to provide decentralised social media. Bluesky now operates independently from Jack Dorsey but holds this vision, turning control over to the people. This novel strategy appeals to specialists, innovators, developers and users who seek independence.
Independent and impartial public administration
Now under the leadership of Jay Graber, Bluesky becomes an Open & Independent Social Media Service. The governance also comprises technology related personalities, including Jeremie Miller and Kinjal Shah, making the leadership very diverse.
Unlike X, which is often criticized for its polarized political and economic orientations, Bluesky relies on a neutrality that promotes collaboration. This strategy allows it to position itself as a sustainable and user-centric alternative in an ever-changing digital landscape.
