It allows users to share short text posts (up to 300 characters), images, and videos. Bluesky's main distinguishing feature is its commitment to a decentralized and open social network, which is built on the Authenticated Transfer Protocol (AT Protocol). Key Characteristics and Features Decentralization: Bluesky is designed to not be controlled by a single company. The underlying AT Protocol is an open-source framework that allows for federation, meaning users and their data can theoretically move to other social apps that also use the protocol without losing their identity, followers, or posts. Customizable Experience: Users have significant control over their experience, including: Custom Feeds: Anyone can create and share algorithmic feeds, allowing users to choose exactly what kind of content they want to see, beyond the standard "Following" or "Discover" feeds. These can be very niche, focusing on specific topics or communities. User-Managed Moderation: The platform offers tools like block lists and customizable content filters that can be created and shared by the community, giving users more direct control over the content they encounter. Microblogging Format: The core experience is similar to early Twitter, focusing on short, public conversations, replies, and reposts. Domain-Based Handles: Users can use their own custom domain name (e.g., @user.com) as their Bluesky handle, which acts as a form of self-verification for their account's legitimacy. Bluesky originated in 2019 and became an independent company in 2021. It has seen growth as users seek alternatives to mainstream, centralized social platforms.
