The return of Jack Dorsey!   

   Blue Sky is a haven for those on the Left.   Twitter X, Gab, TikTok, Instagram, almost every other social media site has been commandeered by The Right.

   I wish them well, but good luck competing in a world dominated by Twitter and Facebook.

I've heard the name but, am 100% confident that Twitter (or X) will never be taken over. Too many journalists there, releasing hot-off-the-press information.

And it's no longer censored so, I think membership has even picked up over the last year or so.

Knew nothing about Bluesky but learned:

"While Bluesky has garnered attention as a decentralized social media platform, it faces several challenges:

1. Limited User Base and Diversity

Despite rapid growth, Bluesky's user base remains smaller and less diverse compared to established platforms. This limited diversity can result in a narrower range of content and perspectives, potentially affecting user engagement.

Business Insider

 

2. Scalability and Moderation Challenges

As Bluesky expands, it encounters difficulties in scaling its moderation efforts. The platform has experienced surges in user reports, including serious issues like child sexual abuse material, highlighting the need for robust content moderation systems.

Wikipedia

 

3. Security Concerns

The platform has been targeted by phishing scams, with cybercriminals sending convincing emails to steal personal information. Users are advised to exercise caution and verify communications to protect their data.

The Sun

 

4. Leadership and Vision Disputes

Jack Dorsey, Bluesky's founder, resigned from the board, citing concerns that the company was "repeating all the mistakes [Twitter] made." This departure raises questions about the platform's direction and adherence to its founding principles.

New York Post

 

These challenges underscore the complexities Bluesky faces as it seeks to establish itself as a viable alternative in the social media landscape."

No.  Given the extreme left-wing anti-American bent of Bluesky, there is no way I'm being a part of that.
