In the world of social media, there’s a growing demand for platforms that are fair, transparent, and open. Bluesky, established as a decentralized alternative, offers exactly that: a fresh, blue sky where users can breathe freely. The platform focuses on innovation and user control, making it a promising option for businesses and individuals who feel less at home on X (formerly Twitter).
Why switch from X (formerly Twitter) to Bluesky?
More and more users and organizations are leaving X due to concerns over unpredictable moderation and decision-making under Elon Musk’s leadership. A recent example is the departure of renowned organizations like The Guardian, which publicly announced its exit from X, citing increasing toxicity and the lack of clear guidelines. (Just like us at Vuurwerk!)
Additionally, there have been rumors about prominent users like Taylor Swift. It was claimed that her account was temporarily deactivated due to her outspoken political views, including criticism of Donald Trump and support for Kamala Harris. Although her account is still active, this illustrates growing concerns over arbitrary actions and the lack of transparent moderation on X. These concerns are amplified by the near-total absence of regulation and clear guidelines on the platform.
