Bluesky has been a tremendously refreshing and almost completely nontoxic social media experience. I can't recommend it strongly enough. Most of the 1-star reviews are from older versions of the app. Don't let them dissuade you from trying it out! New features (and many expected features) are constantly being added as everything on the platform starts to take shape. If you're a former user, consider giving it another chance.
DOES TWITTER HAVE SCAM WARNINGS??? DOES IT??? this does
This is just the “toxic” liberals version of X. They just created this platform simply because they are offended that someone has different opinions then they do. Stop treating politics like it’s a religion or a way of life. It’s not.
There is no possibility to bookmark any post. Don’t know how they released the software in the first place without this feature, let alone the subsequent updates.
The app randomly signs you out and if you forgot your password good luck, because the password reset never comes. Also, the “community” is like if you had the anti-vaxxers, MAGAs, and Bitcoin bros came together and has a baby. Best to avoid, it’s a lot like Twitter in the sense there’s no point in being here.
The add a content warning option for pictures doesn’t seem to be working. I select it when appropriate, but it doesn’t show up and then BlueSky ends up doing it.
This is my take as an artist using the platform: Pros: - No AI trying to steal artwork or spam bots - No random/irrelevant posts in my feed - No ads (fingers crossed it stays that way!) - It doesn’t feel so crowded and overwhelming Cons: - There isn’t a post scheduling feature - It is more difficult to get any engagement on my posts despite using hashtags - No DM feature - No way to block someone? At least I haven’t come across it yet.
i just joined today and i’m so happy to have an alternative to the app-that-shall-not-be-named. Everything on here feels happier and more similar to how twitter felt pre-2020. authentic, happy, small accounts. but i wanted to post a cute video of my pet rabbit and i found out i couldn’t :( i think it would be cool to allow short video clips to share videos of pets, nature, animations, and video edits other pros: more control over feed/content other cons: no DMing, no bookmark/save feature, no saving drafts of posts i’m sure there are more pros/cons but i’ve only spent 30-45 minutes on here so far so take my review with a grain of salt
March 2024 updates have turned BSKY into a crash test dummy on iPhone. Literally can’t get it to stay open since last update.
The app tends to work fine and then decide it must crash multiple times on startup (11 the last time). It also shows you the latest posts when it starts instead of where you left off. There isn’t even an option to start from where you left off.
