Bluesky is different from X for now

Liberals who are disillusioned with the current state of X (formerly Twitter) are migrating to Bluesky, a new Twitter-like platform that allows users to curate their experience and engage with like-minded individuals. This move represents a shift away from the ideal of a public sphere that accommodates diverse voices and instead prioritizes individual preferences and control. The migration to Bluesky is driven by dissatisfaction with X's shift towards conservatism under the ownership of Elon Musk, who has made the platform more permissive towards hate speech and reactionary content. Users are seeking a more curated and moderated space that aligns with their values and allows them to block out undesirable voices. While Bluesky's success is not guaranteed, this migration highlights the demand for social platforms that prioritize user preferences over advertiser interests and offer a more communal experience.
