Bluesky is a social media network created as a copy of X.com (formerly known as Twitter). Bluesky website owners, under Lantian Jay Graber and Daniel Holmgren, have consistently demonstrated active censoring of users[1,2]. This means that the content you post on Bluesky has a strong chance of being removed. This anti-free-speech policy appears to not only exist, but be targeted towards those who do not share the same personal political views as Bluesky company's employees. For this reason, this site should not be considered a trustworthy platform for users seeking an open and impartial space for expression.

Trustworthiness Rating: 2/5.

My experience with Bluesky Social has been disappointing in several aspects. Despite its intention to replicate the success of platforms like Twitter (X), Tumblr and Instagram, it faces multiple issues that affect usability and user experience.

Firstly, the lack of options to send files such as PDF, JPG, JFIF, BMP, WEBP, or GIF in direct messages is a significant inconvenience. This functionality is basic in other social media like instagram, and its absence limits user interaction. Additionally, I have experienced constant connection problems, including NGINX 404 errors, which make the platform unreliable.

When trying to upload a profile picture, I often encounter a strange glitching visual style, with bars or a green color that does not look professional. I have also had difficulties accessing the platform on several occasions, which is frustrating.

The registration process is another weak point. When trying to register with a Gmail/AOL/Proton account, I encountered a captcha that sometimes displayed the error "Handle too long," which is annoying and confusing. Furthermore, the inability to create conversation threads, a feature that has already been implemented in other platforms like Threads, limits users' ability to interact effectively.

Another concerning aspect is the presence of inappropriate content, such as lolicon and shotacon, which is illegal in many countries. This raises serious doubts about content moderation on the platform. There is also a lack of an account verification system to help eliminate fake profiles and bots, contributing to an unsafe user experience. I have found fake accounts of public figures, such as Maria Corina Machado (mariacorinaya.bsky.social; unofficial/fake), that lack verification and profile pictures, which can lead to confusion. Additionally, there is a noticeable problem with spam, scammers, and fake accounts created by individuals posing as women to steal money from users.

Additionally, I have noticed that the translation into Spanish is often poor. Phrases like "borrar esta post" instead of "borrar esta publicación" are clear examples of bad translation, which seems to have been done using automated tools like Google Translate. It would be advisable to use higher-quality translation services, such as DeepL, or to hire professional translators to ensure more effective communication in other languages.

In summary, Bluesky Social urgently needs to improve in several areas: from basic functionality to content moderation, account verification, and translation quality. Without these improvements, it is difficult for it to compete with platforms like Threads or Mastodon, which are rapidly gaining ground.

I hope the platform takes these constructive criticisms into account to improve the user experience in the future.

A friendly platform, recommended if you don't want to shout, annoy, bully, hate or engage in bigotry. Not recommend if you're a bot, as you'll be removed (unlike X). So... most real humans with a little warmth will like this platform.

Social Media as it should be apparently, except I signed up to see what it was like. Didn't do anything other than the basics and with 4 hours got my first follow request from Nigerian scammer with a cleavage heavy profile pic phishing for cash!

While they let you follow accounts through their API, they mark you as a spam if you do so. Great job guys! Cheers!

just on. I'll see what's next.

Finally a place where the news is actually news, and not MAGA propaganda.

Works perfectly. A few times I have longed for a laughing my a$$ of-emoji, as a response to the maga idiots that thinks they will succeed in ruining this media, as they have ruined everything else. Wont happen.

Bluesky is here to stay, and the real news will flow.

Welcome to the world of Bluesky, where thinking green and left isn't just a choice, it's a lifestyle! Here, the walls are made of tofu, the carpets from recycled plastic bottles, and the air smells of patchouli and righteousness. It's where your keyboard fears to hit the wrong pronoun key.

The Woke Wonderland:

Language Police: Every word is weighed on a gold scale. Say "man" instead of "person," and you'll get a "Words of the Week" calendar thrown at you.
Virtual Signaling: Here, likes aren't just clicks; they're moral medals. Tip: Post about climate change and vegan diets, and you'll be the hero of the day!
Cancel Culture: Made a "wrong" thought? Brace yourself for your avatar to be put on digital display. Dissenting from the left here is like wearing white socks with sandals – unforgivable.

A Paradise for the Woke Elite:

Bluesky is where you fluff up your moral pillow by saving the world without leaving your living room. It's the ultimate collection of people ready to debate every issue, except the possibility that they might, just might, have gone a tad overboard.

Conclusion:

Bluesky is the digital equivalent of a vegan house meeting, where the coffee is fair trade, discussions are passionate, and freedom of speech is only for those singing in the choir. If you fancy a life in a virtual bubble where every day is a new workshop on microaggressions, Bluesky has flung its doors wide open for you. Welcome to the Woke Universe!

Now I'm not the most "anti-woke" person, but you cannot deny the website is enforcing a super "woke" agenda and the moderation is extremely biased. You need to agree with their ideologies or you're not welcome. I really love the concept of using your own domain for your username, but this service is unusable. I hope to see this concept again but with a more accepting community.

Even with a couple small reliability issues, it's got a great interface.

No ads, no bots, simple browsing.

Such a ray of sunshine after Twitter.

No ads. No manipulative owner. Trolls are collectively given short shrift. Blocklists are available to keep your feed clean. There is some moaning about this from those who get caught up in them, but "My feed, my rules" prevails.

We have actual conversations with mutual respect (not always agreement). We don't have dog piles. And we don't have self important people barging in to trash the place.

Better than modern Twitter after Brazil got banned

This site is a great alternative to X, especially after Brazil banned it.

I know that the app is quite new and growing ever so slowly, but I respect the speed of the platform as it continues to build itself as a brilliant alternative. Plus, with video support and hopefully DMs as well, it'll basically make the world a much nicer and simpler society.

Képtelenség bárkit elérni rajta, egy olcsó twitter-clone, bár nyilván ezzel ez is volt a céljuk, kinézetre borzalmas. Ahogy már más is írta tele van toxic emberekkel, amit nem szűrnek. Jobb lett volna, ha marad invite-only. Ügyfélszolgálat elérhetetlen, ha bármi problémád van az oldallal, nem tudsz kihez fordulni. De talán majd egyszer, a közeljövőben még fog változni az oldal, remélhetőleg jó irányba.

wow, what can I say? within seconds of posting some AI work on Bluesky, I was greeted with a barrage of abuse, I had people telling me I should kill myself, they hoped I die alone. This is a platform for the most toxic mentally deranged people on this planet. They are vile. stay the hell away I would say as they are relentless.

My Bluesky account has been falsely suspended for "harassment" even though I was the one being harassed. The moderators on this website are corrupt and biased. This site is a scam. Don't ever use it.
