Bluesky Social Positive Reviews

Great AppThis app is an alternative to X/Twitter. It has a lot of the same features as X/Twitter with some minor differences. Mainly you can only post videos that are 60 seconds long. Anything longer you have to comment and add the rest. The block function actually blocks the user from seeing your posts. However, the algorithm on this app is not as fine tuned as X/Twitter. It needs some work. But many users on this app are friendly. You don’t have to worry so much about people just being mean to you just cuz you said something that seemed dumb to them. If you are nice, they will be nice. Don’t respond aggressively and you won’t have a problem. Keep in mind though that many users recently joined from X/Twitter. Many are still sore about their experiences there. You may come across users that are venting a lot about it or still have an account and are posting stuff that they see over there that is irking them. Just try to ignore it if you don’t like it. The Bluesky team is also struggling to keep up with Bluesky massive growth due to the X/Twitter exodus so try to be patient with them. The growth was unexpected and sudden for them..Kella1994Version: 1.96.1

Curation is nonexistentDownloaded the app a bit ago after the recent changes to twitter and honestly it’s safe to say bluesky is a lot better. No ragebait or drama and everyone’s friendly with eachother. You don’t get bullied for just existing and people actually interact with your posts. The feed is full of wonderful artists and talented people too instead of just being based off who’s the most popular on the app. However Im not a fan of how difficult it is to make your feed match your tastes, even just a little bit. I know you can pin separate feeds to scroll through to see medias you enjoy but they’re often stale, and only show posts that include certain words which causes a lot of posts to go unseen due to not having those keywords. For example— I follow multiple jjba feeds and post almost exclusively about jjba, and most if not all of my mutuals post about it as well. yet in my time on the app ive only gotten two jjba related posts on my feed and neither of them involved any possible keywords. I understand the main feed is meant to be for discovering new people and making friends and whatnot, but I’d like to enjoy meeting new people who are from MY fandoms without having to join 20 different feed groups in order to meet them. It’s unfair that my feed is full of stuff like super mario and guilty gear but nothing that I actually enjoy. This is an issue for hundreds of people, please don’t ignore our complaints about this..MfifdkfvhVersion: 1.92.1

Algorithm needs serious workI downloaded Bluesky a week or two ago, to join some friends that had begun using the app, and I must say, at base value, Bluesky is a functional app, that could absolutely some day serve as plenty of people’s main form of social media (though bookmarks and post drafts are a must for the future). That said, currently, the app’s algorithm fails in huge ways that X’s doesn’t. My feed on Bluesky, no matter what I try, is flooded with posts that don’t interest me whatsoever, and even more frequently, with posts that I actively am seeking to AVOID. For example, SO many posts on Bluesky are people talking up the app, and claiming that it is infinitely better than X. Frankly, I have no skin in that race, but it’s really hard to genuinely believe that Bluesky is superior, when HALF of my Bluesky feed is posts trying to prove that X is bad, meanwhile my X feed is still only content that I actually enjoy and care about. There is a “Show me less content like this” button on Bluesky, but I have clicked it, probably over 100 times at this point, and it has simply done nothing to help curate my feed. I plan to try to stick it out with Bluesky, but for now I will be using X much more. If Bluesky ever wants to get out of X’s shadow, it needs to ditch the little brother energy, and simply be a better app, but currently I unfortunately cannot say that it is..James RapstineVersion: 1.94

So Much PotentialThis could be the perfect TWITTER (not “X”) replacement. App is designed/laid out similar, all the same features are slowly making their way to the app. Overall this is a great start for the devs. The only thing this app ***desperately needs*** are more people and accounts actively on the platform. The thing that’s been keeping me on TWITTER all this time was having the perfect blend between my news/trends, who i was following, what my friends were retweeting, & the recommended post all in my feed. Obviously since Elon took over, all of that was changed anyway. Right now the only posts i’m seeing in my BlueSky feed are politically based, even after actively trying to find other types of content. A lot of other celebrities, companies, brands, & meme accounts i like just aren’t on BlueSky. THAT is the only thing that needs to be improved if BlueSky has a chance to compete. Ironically, i saw an ad on TWITTER about BlueSky that initially got me to download it. If I recall correctly, the ad said the app had achieved over 10 million downloads in 3 days? After scrolling through the app recently, I get the feeling that a lot of those 10 million people flocked back to TWITTER, or some of that activity was botted. Regardless of what the complaints I have are, this is still a great foundation for a new *healthy* platform. Just don’t follow the same practices that you see these other companies doing and actively try to get people to switch to this platform..King KonnorVersion: 1.96.4

Strong foundation, but needs a LOT of fine-tuningI got Bluesky after I stopped using twitter, and in comparison to current twitter, it is very good! However, there are still quite a few things holding Bluesky back from being as good as twitter was back in its peak. The bot prevention measures on Bluesky are quite lacking, and I get quite a lot of bots following me on a daily basis that are really obnoxious to have to block all the time. There is also no “remove follower” feature, so even if I block these bots, they still annoyingly warp my follower count and make it impossible for anyone to tell who’s actually following me! This feels like a very blatant oversight, and I really hope that the Bluesky team puts more effort into fixing the following spam problem! Other than my issues with moderation, I do actually enjoy the ability to make custom feeds and to pin or unpin feeds from my homepage. I’ve always hated “discover” feeds, so the ability to unpin that and replace it with “popular with friends” and “art: what’s hot” has been very nice!! I use those other feeds a lot and it’s very nice to be able to have so much customization be so accessible..Tay Y.Version: 1.96.1

Videos not uploading some user experience issues but still a great app.It is hard to really say if the app sets the “tone” or the people that use it. Bluesky seems to answer that question I think a lot of people definitely can no longer tolerate X because of the level of toxicity and lack of moderation which is why I found myself on bluesky, but pass that even the timeline itself feels different and more refreshing/authentic. Is that because of the algorithm and the way it structured or the people that use it knowing what so many of us left behind was souring? so far it has been a much better experience. I only wish that some of the issues with uploading videos consistently were solved. I can make post but the videos themselves don’t upload and sending pictures in messages would always be a plus..EpuropeVersion: 1.94

Missing a lotWith this app emerging as a potential strong twitter competitor, there’s a lot to look forward to in terms of growth and how it’ll develop to differentiate itself from other platforms, which it does. A free API to encourage third party apps, customizable algorithm, etc. But for every new feature it brings to the table, there’s two features from other sites like Twitter/X that it lacks. Post notifications. Bookmarks. Post views. Drafts. 4k images/videos. Images in dm’s. Notif when someone likes a retweet. Polls. Private accounts. Instead of prioritizing features like these, what have the devs opted to add recently? instead of all the features listed above, their #1 focus was… making a tiktok knockoff that literally nobody uses. If the devs truly want to make this app sustainable, they’d push out these features as soon as possible to keep people on the platform, but they have completely ignored its userbase. Also, yall gotta stop shoving politics down everyone’s throats. It is impossible to avoid unless you mute every single keyword related to trump. It’s agitating..Adam CrocslerVersion: 1.98

Revitalizes social media!I have not used almost any social media in years now. I found it to be draining and overall a miserable experience. Was watching Phillip DeFranco and saw he joined and decided to give it a chance and let me just say. Wow. This app is great! Everyone feels so much more engaging, interesting, and overall happy. It’s a platform where I’m not bogged down with bots, hate speech, and overall a depressing feed. The engagement is through the roof, which for a newer, smaller app blows my mind. I’ve never seen and connected with people, strangers even the way I have on this app. And I’m only a couple days in. I can get news again without it being the only thing I see. I can chat with strangers about games. Repost interesting IT content. I can like photos of cats, stars, and art. It truly is a phenomenal platform where I look forward to seeing what comes next..FenderloserVersion: 1.93

Superb direction for social media!This is what we needed; a social media app that doesn’t pander to billionaires’ whims, stockholders’ portfolios, or sell off your data to make you the product versus the customer. I’m sure Bluesky will have its growing pains, but it’s so refreshing to see a site that actually CARES about its users! Even the data privacy rights are given to the consumers. The conversations themselves are refreshing, the algorithms seem to cater to my interests very well without sending me into an echo chamber, and I’m given a broader view of content versus the competition. Folks, this is the way social media should be; SOCIAL. My only, tiniest of gripes is that it’s not yet fully compatible with iPad. The interface is the same as on the phone, and there are no “landscape” views. So, Bluesky, please, PLEASE update that feature! That said, I love the app, and more importantly I feel safer using it..DistantSentVersion: 1.96.1

Great App, Up and ComingI’ve found this to be a great alternative to Twitter (or what’s left of it anyways), as well as a good platform on its own. I love the inclusion of feeds, good tagging/filtering systems, and starter packs. It’s taken a bit of time to get my feed where I want it to be, but those features have been infinitely helpful in that. As an artist, feeds have been such a blessing to sort my posts into art and non-art media, as well as make it easy for others to view what is essentially a gallery of my work. The filtering/moderation on the app seems to work great as well, where you can choose to hide or warn of adult content and not have it jumpscare you on your feeds. It is missing some key features like bookmarking and saving drafts of posts, but I hope the team at Bluesky continues to work and add features because it is shaping up to be a great app!.Livy NehVersion: 1.98

Desperately needs proper iPad supportI see there’s at least one review from nearly a year ago mentioning how poor the experience on the iPad is. The iPad is frequently used in landscape mode, especially if one has a keyboard for it, and the Bluesky app STILL cannot deal with landscape orientation. It zooms in too much, it crops the content if you rotate the iPad to portrait in an attempt to fix it, and now it’s not even repositioning the view correctly when doing that. I know Bluesky’s dealing with a rapid increase in its user base, I know they’ve put a lot of work into other features like safety and privacy which are highly important and much appreciated, but this experience is extremely frustrating and seems utterly unnecessary. The Twitter/X app correctly handles this, the Instagram app handles this, why can’t Bluesky? It’s clearly doable, and the app should’ve been designed to handle this correctly from the start, not still be an issue a year or more later..PhilarosVersion: 1.93

Needs work on iPad screenI like blue sky social. It has a ups and downs, but it is a lot better than Twitter etc. so I really like it in my opinion it has more good than bad points. One thing that has to be fixed. On my computer screen, the blue sky page fill up screen like it supposed to Same with my iPhone . it fills up full screen like it’s supposed to I just got a new iPad and I download the app was going to be really happy with it, but the app only filled up about a third of the center of the screen the other to turn around it are black looks kind of funky When they fix it appears on the screen that’s the step up for them that would be great. Otherwise I would give them five star but for this, I’ll give them a four star but they are doing a great job..Ed349835Version: 1.61

Is this really a beta?So full stop I’m not a tech person. Got invited to beta test bluesky off the waitlist. While there are occasional times the feed loading gets wonky- and I’ve experienced this a handful of times in the past week- it’s also very intuitive, and it evolves while you are using it. It has been hands down the coolest social site I have ever been a part of. Remember watching Star Trek? Or your first MySpace experience? When you were like-technology really can’t be that ‘human’. Scrolling through Bluesky is that kind of experience- where you feel connected to humanity. And yes- the users are pretty legit amazing. Being a beta tester I went in there without any connection or community- and was quickly embraced by so many. If you’re lucky enough to get an invite, don’t sit on it..FacestealerVersion: 1.25

Twitter had a child with TumblrThat’s my early impression. Probably need more time for the algorithm to meet my desires, as the politics feel hokey and the arts feel sparser than I would like. Definitely want more thoughtful political discourse interspersed with the beauty of the world and the arts. I was on X for a little while but the deregulation of it allowed for rampant racism and sexism which seemed to just be spiraling out of control with no end in sight. I decided it was time to leave after this, and this is off to a better start so far but only time will tell. I normally wouldn’t review this early but I feel it necessary given that this social network appears to be a target for review bombing by the same people who hate being held accountable for their egregious behavior and prefer X for that reason..BgboatVersion: 1.94

Bot problems and feed doesn’t always refreshGlad for a Twitter alternative- thank you!. The app is fairly functional and easy to use. I’ve had my account for over six months but didn’t use it much until the last six weeks or so when I finally deleted my Twitter acct. There are increasingly more and more bots/fake accounts following me- other than blocking there, doesn’t seem to be a way to remove them as followers all together. The other main issue I have is my feed doesn’t seem to refresh. I follow over 100 accounts, most being public figures who are generally pretty prolific on social media, however when I return to the app after, three or four hours, there are usually only a half a dozen new posts displayed, then the rest of my feed is the content I was looking at hours ago..SF LupaVersion: 1.96.1

So much better than *THAT* appHonestly I moved from twitter to bluesky a year ago and couldn’t switch because it wasn’t developed enough yet, but I switched back over to bluesky a few weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE the app now!!! you have discoverability if you use keywords, you get to curate the content you want to see through different tags, they added media/gif support, and they just added the option to make threaded posts before you post!! I’m just waiting on the feature to put posts in drafts and genuinely I think I’ll be able to fully say goodbye to the other app and move fully to this one!! and to the devs: y’all are doing AMAZING with this app and I want to thank you so SO much for everything so far!!.NatisdatVersion: 1.93

Very good social media platformI’m really enjoying my time with Bluesky. It’s very functional and reminds me of what Twitter used to be like before it was ruined. I do have a few recommendations to make it better. First, I’d like a grid view layout for the media tab. I primarily use Bluesky to follow artists, so that would be convenient. Second, the app is missing bookmarks. This is the main feature I really miss from Twitter. Lastly, I would really appreciate a dedicated iPad app. I use my iPad more than my phone a lot of the time, and I wish I could browse the app without it being buggy and letterboxed. I think this platform has lots of room to grow, but it’s already better than Twitter in it’s current state. Very impressed!.JamexF0XVersion: 1.93

Minor problem with images of textHaving recently come to BlueSky as a longtime Twitter user, I found an irritating difference in how the two apps display text. In Twitter’s app, as the phone is rotated, the image rotates on the screen so that the top stays up. In BlueSky’s app, the orientation of the image is frozen on the screen. This makes it easier to read images of text in Twitter ‘s app, as rotating the device makes the text run from top to bottom (i.e., along the long dimension of the screen), which enlarges the font and makes the text easier to read. The lack of this feature makes it harder to read text images in BlueSky. Despite this minor problem, I still gave you a 5 (rounding up from 4.8)😊.SteveMcCluskeyVersion: 1.94

A Few Suggestions/RecommendationsPersonally speaking, the app is essentially good and decently nice to work with in terms respectfully. However, sometimes in the discover feed it gives me things that I am not 100% wanting to physically see in general. Ruining a proportion of the experience itself as a whole. I wished there was a way to physically edit our posts to fix somethings when we post or to directly remove some interests without having to delete and recreate said account. Because then, it’d be just a waste of time specifically. It’s rarely worth mentioning but it would be probably necessary as some people are having issues with things in their discover feeds that aren't what they wanna see in those feeds. I barely see anything that interests me on the discover feed these days, all I see is some art here and there. But would essentially love to see more art too! Like original characters, fandoms, and even the ability to remove some interests to help fix the problems that plague my discover feed fully. I wish I could find the words to express how, but I physically don’t know what else to add into this other then suggest or recommend the idea so it can help other user experiences as well in the process as well..UyenoEikoVersion: 1.92.1

A breath of fresh airI’ve compared Bluesky less to X and more to Facebook. Over time Facebook kept reducing my options as an individual (and those as a business or organization) to focus on ads and algorithmically determined content outside of my control. At Bluesky the ownership of who can see my content and whose I want to see is with me again. From a business standpoint, Bluesky is what you wanted when you saw your reach on Facebook drop significantly and the only way to play was with ads. As an individual, Bluesky is so freeing. And people are innovating and building for it, which is one of the things I missed most about Twitter. Highly recommend, and keep up the good work, y’all..KittforkatVersion: 1.94

One reason why BlueSky is better than X/Twitter:Bluesky has it to where if you block someone, they are no longer able to stalk because they can’t see everything else you are posting. Which is amazing. Because the reason why people block people in the first place is to make certain that potentially dangerous people are no longer capable of cyber stalking them. I don’t understand anyone who has a problem with this, in my personal opinion, they are only because they are trying to stalk them and now they can’t. You could set up your account to be on private mode, but to some people that is a bit of an over kill way to get rid of cyber stalkers..Person,who,hates,pedophilesVersion: 1.96.4

Almost goodThis app has the potential of being a good platform, but it feels empty, and it’s missing a few key features that make a platform good. - Missing Video and GIF support. Without that simple component it is making the competition look a lot more appealing. No videos and no gifs means no life, it feels sterile - DMs. Being able to DM someone on this platform would make it great, it’s impossible to talk to anyone unless they have ANOTHER platform to talk on - A working Notification system. Half of the time I never know if I have notifications or not. I have to manually open the tab to see if I have any. Not only that but when I open it up and close the app, I can see that I have notifications, THAT I’VE ALREADY OPENED, so then I need to open up the app and manually click on the notifications to clear them. So much wasted time. And the notifications feel cluttered and messy, not a clean system. I have a feeling that adding just slightly more features, the quality of the platform will improve tenfold. Mainly the support for Video and GIFs, that would make the place a lot more appealing against its competitors. But for now, it’s easier to use anything else but this platform..KlixislongVersion: 1.70

Better than TwitterThis app is still a work in progress, but there are already so many things that it does right. Free 2-step verification? Yes. Can you ACTUALLY block other accounts? Yes! In fact you can mass block accounts that are toxic. What about the character count, is it better than X? A hundred YES! I can go on about the pros. The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is because there are still a few things that I would like to see. For example, more gifs, or the ability to copy and paste gifs from my own searches. The ability to save a post (although, maybe that’s already a feature and I just didn’t know). Also the UI is ok, it just needs to be a bit better..CydefxtVersion: 1.93

Bluesky is the futureThe developers are hard at work improving this space to be fair and safe for everyone. There are new features all the time and it’s growing really fast with better and better content. I have been using it for about a year now back from when it was invites only and slowly seen it get more and more momentum which is so exciting. It’s really one of the most promising social media forms out there that isn’t politically affiliated which is very very important these days. To the devs: keep doing what you’re doing and fight the good fight. Please don’t bend to corporate or govt powers and help us retain true and safe free speech. Y’all rock!.DantheDesignerVersion: 1.96.5

A good app for communityAs a swiftie who just recently joined the app during a mass swiftie migration from another app, I’m very happy with Blue Sky. The ability to mass follow or mass block makes it feel like a safer app to talk with others that enjoy what I do and cultivate an experience I want from the app. It’s set up perfectly for those nostalgic for a later tumblr/previous-ownership-twitter type platform that isn’t filled with bots or trolls (and if there are any that pop up you can actually block them). oh and for now no ads, chronological timeline, able to support thousands of swifties joining everyday for a week without server errors, cool art that’s not AI? Yeah sign me up..Cuddlybaer11Version: 1.93

For an early access app, it’s quite clean and quick!I'm not going to sugarcoat and say that it doesn't have bugs, because it does. But then again, it is very early access. I love certain implementations - the way link previews (cards) work, and the way notifications can be expanded and collapsed to view all usernames involved in an action, etc - it's the little things. But I guess the beauty of it lies at the back end - with all the decentralization. It does have the potential to dethrone the already well-established Mastodon as the go-to decentralized microblogging platform, but that's way far into the future. Looking forward to future updates!.ArunwadhwaVersion: 1.2

Post notifications on standby screenI love the app but it needs the ability to turn on notifications for posts from profiles I want to see on my phone in standby mode… like Twitter has, because there are people that I follow to keep up with important urgent information & having to check just to know if they have or haven’t posted is frustrating. I am trying to get settled in here and hopefully so will more of the people that provide important information I need to keep up from the people who I used to be able to do so when they were on Twitter Currently I still have to rely on Twitter for the post notifications of those who still post there because I can’t get them on here Btw, why does the app only allow ONE notification at a time for replies, likes, and such? As soon as another one comes in the previous one disappears. That’s a HUGE inconvenience. These features shouldn’t be that difficult to add, as I’ve been on Twitter since late spring 2008 & those features were available even back then..Lil’BoyBluVersion: 1.97.0

Nice window into the BlueSkyI’m happy to be out of the other social network and this app works well except for one thing for me. I’m right handed, but use my phone and scroll with my left hand. At least once a session I hit the button in the lower left of the timeline interface which auto-scrolls me all the way to the top, losing my place. The iPhone has had auto-scroll to the top for years (by tapping at the top). I know It’s a “lefty problem”, but is this button really solving a problem for a lot of users? I vote to remove it. Didn’t know where else to leave this comment. Thanks for the app and keep up the good work!.BrettweaverVersion: 1.95

Timeline orderI opened an account awhile ago. Didn't use it because there wasn't what I was looking for on here yet. With more people moved over, I decided to try it again. Without using it much yet, I have one major critique. The order of the timeline in the feed. It would be nice if it was where you left off last. Mine currently opens to the most recent post. You then have to scroll through post as the get older progressively. If you are trying to following something in chronological order from past to present, you don't always want to know the finish first. It would be nice to know how the events unfolded as they happened. I tried to look for a setting to change but could not find one..BradberrVersion: 1.93

Need to give more user control on content preferences.I know Bluesky have “no algorithm” but let’s be honest, everyone is seeing at least 20+ furry post a day. Nothing against people with those interest but it is clearly not for everyone - and as invite only platform Bluesky currently are predominately occupied by furry community. Again, nothing against it, it’s just not for me. It offers “for you” page but it is clearly not working. You can try to join a mute list subscription but it’s gonna always come through. Other feedback - app needs to be more polished especially with touch input sensitivity, it seems like the menu pop ups are more touch sensitive compare to other apps. Also haptic feedback on app would be nice bonus..ChrisEqualsYooVersion: 1.54

Better than “X”DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! Bluesky is absolutely far and wide a superior experience to “X”, the app formerly known as Twitter. The UI is a lot more friendly, all the react animations are just gorgeous. They’ve added DMs, hashtags, videos, more timeline options, SO much accessibility and even better moderation than anything you could imagine. The few things they don’t have parity with on Twitter are voice messages, spaces, and currently DMs are text only so no pics, vids or gifs there! The Bluesky community is fed up with the hands-off approach of “X”, and it shows in their attitude towards trolling. This app is a SAFE SPACE and any and all disruptive behavior will be promptly actioned upon. Not only that, but the ability to add custom profile labels and even join community moderation groups is so refreshing. I’m a trans woman myself and have recently decided to step away from most social media, but the Bluesky community and their ever-so communicative development team have created a much needed break from all the harsh noise. Thanks Bsky team :).Queen_CodaVersion: 1.92.1

Genuine Twitter SuccessorI used to LOVE twitter. It was my social platform of choice for years. Unfortunately, it’s really taken a turn for the worse lately, and I permanently deleted my account because of current ownership, among other things. I finally downloaded Bluesky, and I genuinely feel the way I do back on early Twitter. The different feeds are awesome, something Twitter should’ve had long ago. “Starter packs” are a really great onboarding resource as well. It feels like Twitter without the baggage, which is EXACTLY what I missed. I see a lot of negative reviews of the app are months old, but I assure you, it’s getting to a really great place now..AmlStupidVersion: 1.93

Can’t view adult content on mobile…As an nsfw artist, not being able to view nsfw on mobile is disappointing. I can view it on desktop. It is a bug so I’m sure it’ll get fixed. However, the moderation options are a great sign. I’m am a huge advocate for them. It allows people to express themselves while also keeping vulnerable parties, like children and traumatized people, safe. Too many companies go straight to “everyone must be squeaky clean and child safe” and it destroys creativity and genuine connection. Being able to post what I want to create and know that it won’t land in the laps of people isn’t meant for is freeing and bodes well for bluesky..Spencart18Version: 1.45

Don’t believe the fake negative reviewsDon’t believe the review bombing being attempted by angry bigoted trolls who don’t like not being welcomed & allowed to spew their hate & lies. The platform is growing like crazy, which you can expect to lead to some hiccups or issues (esp with moderation) but they have been quite successful in weeding out bad intentioned accounts. It also runs extremely smoothly for me now, which it did not used to during earlier builds. That has been a major improvement! Excited and hopeful for the future for this platform. We desperately need a space for the sharing of knowledge, love and acceptance..SugarbagelVersion: 1.95

Silly reviewsI feel like all the negative reviews are really missing any thought. The reason your whole feed is crowded w such “liberal media” is because the reason the app was made was to get away from a predominately conservative media. They came to this app instead elon musks version of twitter specifically to get away from that media so a majority of new joiners are gonna talk about it if you don’t care about politics then you have to develop an algorithm by liking posts not about them. And lastly people calling this a rip off of “X” is killing me, this is made by the creator of twitter yk “X” when it was normal?.YocietyregimeVersion: 1.93

Love it here!The ability to customize my feed is nice and I like the fact I see less trolls. Of course this app has long way to go in terms of new features in order for it to really take off. An edit button would be nice so we don’t have to delete and repost. Groups are needed so we can find our like minded tribes. Videos need to be longer than one min. I would like to Find people I know. I don’t mind meeting new people but again would like to connect with my tribe. The ability to share pics would be nice as well. Like a small photo album. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing new updates..Tdee17Version: 1.97.0

I can finally post my artUsing Bluesky helped me be able to see what i wanted to see: Other genuine artists with the purpose to create. I love having a feed that is so positive with other mutuals. I get to see positive comments under peoples posts no matter if they are a beginner artist or have a profession. I recommend this to anyone who wants Social Media without the worry or stress about if there post is “good enough”. If you want to share something: a milestone, a walk in the park, something you made or anything that you find that can bring positive or initiate a discussion, I implore you to download Bluesky!.Beee✨🐝Version: 1.94

I believe in what it’s REALLY aboutI believe in Bluesky. I believe in the core principles of what the app was truly about, which is decentralization. Outlasting the loss of the “mandate of heaven” when you have servers run by the people. For that I will give it the 5 stars it deserves. However, I also downloaded this app to be free of the toxicity of modern American politics and the fact that a lot of people think this app was created with the purpose of being “Elon free” makes it a major echo chamber of self reinforcing children. I had my blue skies, they were turned grey by morons. For the record, I hate both Elon and the president elect of 2025...june.july.Version: 1.95

I don't want them following me... but I can't remove them??? TRASHThis is basically what Twitter was before Elon Musty took it over. Either way I'm weary of posting on this app since there are lacking privacy settings on it. The inability to be private or at least remove followers that you don't want on your account makes it a little too easy for bots/trolls or plain folks you don't want following you to constantly follow. Soft blocking does not remove the follower, which makes that useless as well... Gonna uninstall the app until they get those simple things privacy items sorted out because I don't want a bunch of people looking to hook up, troll or bring 'X' vibes following me. BlueSky needs to fix it..Nikki BlaséVersion: 1.94

A Breath of Fresh AirI’ve been on Bluesky for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s the social media platform I’ve been waiting for. After getting tired of the endless propaganda and negativity on other apps, I decided to give Bluesky a try—and it’s been a game-changer. The community here is incredible: engaging, thoughtful, and free from the chaos that dominates other platforms. It feels like the best parts of what Twitter used to be—open dialogue, creativity, and connection—without the noise or toxicity. The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to use, and the platform is constantly improving. What sets Bluesky apart is its commitment to decentralization and fostering genuine conversations. It’s not just another app; it’s a movement toward something better. If you’re like me and miss the old days of social media—where people connected instead of argued—I can’t recommend Bluesky enough. Download it today and join this incredible community. You won’t regret it!.MuckenVersion: 1.96.5

More than fine!Don’t listen to the low star reviews. Any issues that have been raised are those to be expected from a budding and early site/app. A waitlist is to be expected while the structure of the place is being set up, there is a GitHub page to openly show what is being worked on at the moment, and self content labeling was just implemented. The team is listening and learning from the failures of Twitter, and I’m all in. To those of you complaining about the waitlist, don’t expect anyone to reward your childish outbursts with an invitation. We’d rather go on without you..BreloomsGardenVersion: 1.45

We need a more personal aspect.To really stick it to FB and X we need a more personal aspect to this app. I could fully commit to this app if your personal profile could expand further and allow you to store photos and albums. I’m stuck not shutting my Facebook down completely because of the photos, memories, and marketplace. If an expansion to the profile could allow saving of photos and maybe a section to add what you’re reading and maybe what your listening to that would really sell it as an alternative to leave both FB and X..Denaliman02Version: 1.96.5

A Few Major IssuesPeople are leaving Bluesky to go back to Threads for 3 reasons 1. Bluesky allows adult content, while Threads doesn’t. Adult content was also a reason people were leaving Twitter 2. You can't edit posts on Bluesky while you can on Threads. That's another reason people started leaving Twitter. Twitter charges to edit posts while Threads allows you to do it for free 3. You can make longer posts on Threads. A lot pay for premium on Twitter just to write longer posts yet Bluesky seems to think shorter posts are fine You can't offer less and expect people to accept it. Bluesky needs to get rid of adult content, allow for editing posts, and allow for longer posts In essence, they need to be the decentralized version of Threads. That doesn't allow hate speech on their platform and will fact-check misinformation Threads' only true downside is they will shadow-ban people who fact-check others and those who call out hate speech. I've been shadow-banned at least 3 times on Threads for calling out hate speech and fact-checking people.XMattForeverVersion: 1.95

Blue sky social mediaSo I just join this new media just yesterday and I have been enjoying it so far but I wished it had all the old game like #facebook did back in the day when they were used to be known as the big gamer media like #zynga old games that used to be on their and many other games but things hasn’t been the same so I hope this social media be the new Facebook but more than posting and commenting just need to add the good old games like cityville, castleville , chefville all the old ville games and more so please add the games like the ville family! PLEASE ADD THE GOOD OLD GAMES!.Sakurawillow***Version: 1.94

A perfect fine alternative to Twitter (if you like Twitter)Though it's funny because the people in the reviews are outting themselves. The funny part about the furry nsfw is that you actively have to join communities for that and turn off the nsfw filter to see anything mature. Theres no algorithm yet and even if you're seeing that stuff on your algorithm on other sites it means you interact with things similar to it. 😏 I can see bluesky becoming more promising overtime when new features are added and more communities join in. Artist seem to enjoy the app so that's what matters to me the most to me..SaiaSaiaVersion: 1.68

IPad support please.I really like this service and the app. An iPad version would be nice since most of my activities are done there. I wouldn’t miss when the app switches to landscape lol..BlerbyqVersion: 1.68

Love the app - but need an ipad versionSo much better than twitter - I highly recommend switching. Using this app on an ipad is a bit annoying as it switches to landscape randomly and you can't see what you were doing. Please fix that when you can!.FAAD4LIFEVersion: 1.93

A chill place to connect and post - better than what Twitter has becomeYou can have customized feeds so you’re not just hearing stuff you have no interest in - it’s like Twitter lists but feeds. Your algorithm is exactly that - what YOU want to see. You can turn off or on certain topics that you don’t want to hear about eg hate or sexual content. I like the invite code aspect - it holds the influx to a steady pace so the engineers and developers can handle the load. When Twitter went crazy due to imposed rate limits, a whole lot of people started posting on Bluesky, which slowed due to the load. There are only a handful of developers and mods and they worked overtime on the holiday weekend to stabilize and normalize the experience. They released two updates in the same day to accomplish this! Kudos to the developers. People waiting for codes just need to be patient. It’s like the old days when your friend would invite you to the party. No, it’s not celebrities - the load that comes with celebrity users is too high right now. The vast majority of people on there are average people who got invited by their friends..Anilu777Version: 1.37

The best twitter replacementTwitter not being safe for artists anymore really got me to leave. When i discovered Bluesky, i felt so much better. It was like finding an old game that was shut down for so long! This place is well moderated and it feels like a fresh start with no huge creator drama. To be honest, twitter lost me the day they renamed themselves "X", making it unrecognizable. Bluesky has the old twitter vibes and its perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH BLUESKY 💚.TeefarūVersion: 1.50

Ipad mod pleaseI want to keep using this app. it’s been awhile since it came out and still no ipad support.JustinTeemolakeVersion: 1.92.1

Feels like old Twitter in the best wayIt's clear that the designers behind Bluesky learned lessons from Twitter, and are implementing features that reduce targeted harassment and algorithmic meddling. It's like Twitter but less shouty. My one criticism is that Bluesky doesn't seem to be able to not spam you with notifications every time someone likes or reshares your posts, which is table stakes for a social network..DeadlyIocaneVersion: 1.90

Finally, a decentralized social app for the massesBluesky is a great app if you don’t care about all this, go get it. But also it’s all built on an open system that enables collaboration and opposes lock-in. The team is doing something special here. It’s a social network you can feel good about contributing to!.Shrinks99Version: 1.92.1

IPadI just joined and cannot submit a full review yet. I hope an iPad version will be made available. Not liking the small screen. Otherwise it seems like it will be a good alternative to other social media platforms that have become hostile, filled with bots and trolls. I will submit another review once I have more experience using this service..Ladybug NetVersion: 1.67

IPad supportSolid app, but needs iPad support.CuberonixVersion: 1.93

Real reviewForget the low reviews, those are all trolls. Bluesky is the best social app to debut in years. It has a familiar UX to Twitter and feels good to use. It’s still in beta so it doesn’t have a full suite of features yet like DMs or video posts but it manages to not make you miss those things. Elon could never….RBeezVersion: 1.25

Promising!If Bluesky's current momentum and promise continue, it could soon have a Twitter-like reach without the toxicity. It’s already a lot more fun than the dark place. Would love to see a proper iPad version soon. But the iPhone version is certainly not a dealbreaker..RefillVersion: 1.93

Just needs an iPad versionLoving it so far. Being able to customize your feed and really dial in on the content you’re interested in is a huge upgrade from the last app I was using. It also isn’t inundated with bots, disinformation, racism and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. BIG upgrade! Just needs an iPad version and I’ll add the extra star!.Strangeway_Version: 1.93

Very Impressed despite small bugsBeen trying Bluesky out for a couple weeks now and I’m really impressed with it for how new it is. The user interface is snappy and beautiful, and seems to work on everything from my Mac, IPhone and Linux Desktop. I don’t have an iPad but have read many reviews saying it doesn’t scale right. I’m sure this is coming in time. People need to remember it still is a fresh application after all and possibly developed with a smaller team meaning less resources to tend to bugs and patches. One feature I love is the ability to pin different feeds to your account example if you’re into science you can pin a science feed to your account and switch between who you follow and the science feed which is pure science posts only. Starterpacks is also a neat idea basically people can create their own starter pack which is a list of people they recommend new people to follow and then share it. The privacy controls are another big feature being able to give you a range on who is allowed to view your posts is a great idea and one I know many people will enjoy. There are a few features I haven’t tried yet but am looking forward to trying. Also generally speaking as of now more people seem to be friendly here without the toxic negativity of others just looking to be miserable. I’m excited for more news channels, journalists, and phd professors to join and share more interesting content and stories. Right now I’m finding all kinds of phd professors scratching my itch for marine biology. If you can’t find something you probably are quite boring because there is so much cool content to consume and share here. Everything from art and politics to stem fields and more. I’d recommend this app and that’s saying something since Ive never been a big twitter person. Just understand it really is a new platform and it’s going to have some issues as all new software does. Great patches take longer to plan and be implemented..Nate - A Canadian STEM MajorVersion: 1.93

Great, but needs ipad versionA great and necessary alternative post-fascist election especially. Starter packs are fantastic to get you up and running. But for those of us who need larger screens/fonts/devices, a suitable Ipad version — especially for landscape mode! — would be the best. Please make it happen! oh, and have another go at the password reset on website. thanks!!!.AnonymizVersion: 1.93

Can’t wait for more BlueskyThank you for providing a new and better space, and please for the love of all that is holy never cave and sell this app to a far-right billionaire offering you millions of dollars, there would be far greater consequences and you would absolutely regret doing so, we the people will support you in this endeavour so long as you stay strong in this fight for the morality and integrity of social media platforms.

IPad support neededIt’s a nice replacement for Twitter. Twitter has gone down hill since the subscription service started with all the engagement farming. Too much noise, not enough signal.

Bluesky Social Negative Reviews

Serious issues with bigotryI know it’s an invite only beta, but the management has put zero thought or effort into moderation (until it causes a scandal). Even when changes have been made re moderation there is no meaningful communication from management. Looks like they are embracing the self-moderation style (blocking) of other sites who are also infested with bigots except bluesky launched (beta) with no ability to block anyone. There is no Trust & Safety team, which they almost managed to get by with until they hit 250k+ users at which time trolls started creating accounts using slurs as usernames (including the n word). This is particularly egregious given management had invited big accounts from black twitter to build community on Bluesky when they first started accepting testers. This site, and it’s federation once that launches, will be deader than mastodon without moderation. Hope the VCs stop throwing money at Bluesky until moderation tools and a trust and safety team are in place..Kelli BEVersion: 1.40

Still no iPad app(1) Still no iPad app. Are they going to stay as deaf to this need as Instagram/Threads are? (2) It is nearly impossible to move from another person's profile page back to the timeline I was in because one needs to use a back arrow that is practically invisible against the background of most users' profile images. (3) When I start the app, it often wants to fill the full width of the screen while sticking to the iPhone version of the vertical space. I have to quit and restart the app to make it work. (4) The web experience is better, but I would prefer an app on my iPad, which is what I tend to use for social media. Apps make it easier to interact with other apps on iPad OS. (5) Why is there no two-factor authentication of some kind for the web app?.Mark StonemanVersion: 1.92.1

Needs two simple things to make it truly usableTo be worth using and to make it functionally usable for me: Needs push notifications on lock screens and needs basic "people you follow"-type information listed on profiles. The second is SO IMPORTANT when you're setting up and starting from scratch again. If you're a big account on Twitter it's not easy switching over to begin with, but it's almost impossible without some help sorting. These two things would fix a whole lot: lock screen notifications get eyes to the app, and shared/known followers to help you nest and settle in. Then, obviously, video..TherealtamishowVersion: 1.48
