Bluesky Extends Video Upload Limit, Adds DM Filtering in Latest Update

[Pączki]

Bluesky makes it easy to find accounts with similar interests. I don’t get any politics or trans stuff at all, I get video game news and music stuff there mostly.

Super conservative musk fans complain about it because they don't allow some of the language that twitter allows. I personally prefer a community with some moderation; it leads to less conspiracies and hate. There really isn’t a bot problem there either.

Which is why it's been coined BlueCry!

That made me laugh. I’ll stick with X since I don’t need to worry about what memes I repost and no ads. I prefer the format of Facebook but Zuck/meta 🤮

The maximum resolution of images is still limited to 2,000 * 2,000 pixels.

It's amazing how polish and feature rich it has become in very short time

BlueSky is my favorite social network. It’s so nice and calm but active compared to the trash fire Twitter became

Just waiting for an update that offers a native iPad app 🤞

If, at this time, you still like Xitter, please do us all a favor and stay there.

This will be really nice for the thirty or so people who use Bluesky! I keep saying the same thing every time this social network pops up. I guess I just can’t believe people are still talking about it. There is no replacement for X. It is the king. Still the #1 news app in over 140 countries. But hey I’m glad to hear Bluesky is improving, I guess. 🤣

Bluesky is great. Custom feeds are the feature I always wanted. Great for tuning out the noise.

Bots: The platform. I’ll pass.

On Twitter I was getting 4-5 bot followers a day, and I would see dozens and dozens of “***** in bio” replies on every moderately popular post.

On BlueSky I had maybe 5 bot followers total and they all got banned 🤷

Bluesky has over 33 million users. That's about 10% of the people living in the United States

That's a huge social network

To be frank, social networks are better when they're at this big enough but not too big point that the worst people aren't really that interested. There are bots, but it's not a flood of bots and bot-like behavior like Twitter. Russia isn't trying to sway elections and emotions using Bluesky. Elon Musk isn't trying to buy and then destroy Bluesky

It's just a good place to interact with people

33 million as of today, and it's growing at about 3 million a month.

Humans have been moving away from monarchies for years, to their benefit.

Is there an iPad native version? One that isn't locked into tiny phone mode?

Sure do wish!

I had a go but it's just a bare-bones Twitter. it looks the same but doesn't have anywhere near as many features. You couldn't even schedule a post when I looked. A couple of years from now you probably wont be able to tell them apart
