About Bluesky

Alice Keeler’s article offers a different idea to connect with colleagues other than Twitter (X). Bluesky is a newTwitter alternative. With Bluesky, you design the algorithm and decide upon custom feeds which align with your interests. Your home screen becomes a curated space filled with content you choose to follow. There’s also a #EduSky Community for Educators.

Why is Bluesky Different?

  1. Bluesky is not controlled by a single company, and it is built on the AT Protocol, an open-source framework.
  2. Chronological Feeds are displayed in the order in which they are created.
  3. Customization focus: Users have more control over their feed’s appearance and content.
  4. No Ads (for now)
  5. You can block people on Bluesky
