As Threads deprioritizes politics, Bluesky’s CEO touts custom feeds and user choice in social media

Meta's decision to remove politics from its recommendations has led to an opportunity for Bluesky, a decentralized social media app. Bluesky's CEO, Jay Graber, highlighted the importance of algorithmic choice and user control over their feed. Bluesky allows users to have a highly political experience or filter out politics entirely. With customization options such as custom feeds powered by hashtags, Bluesky aims to provide a more personalized social media experience compared to centralized platforms like Meta-operated Facebook and Twitter. As Bluesky's user base continues to grow, its focus on user customization may attract users seeking alternatives to traditional social media platforms.
