bluesky has a very bright future because x.com sucks more.

Sometimes you don't have to excel at everything, just be better than your competitors.



Bluesky is currently a terrible product with a paltry number of users. The small dev team can’t compete with social media platform features. React Native means bad mobile UX.


What features are there? (Serious) Like, isn't it mostly just make a post (+media?) and catch likes/comments? That's some.

Is it discovery? Algo? Some AI shit?


Higher bit-rate video, faster load times, app stability, and edit functionality (which many people repeatedly request, despite it being arguably low-priority because you can just delete and repost), just to name a few. I'm practically a Bluesky fan, and I again disagree with Steve's characterization, but even I see many things that have room for improvement. Granted, Twitter/X should crush them on this alone and they've arguably leveled the field by making their platform worse over time, so heh.


> React Native means bad mobile UX.

if that's the case, I'd think Bluesky has an advantage. Because there's open API and third-party apps actually works, compaired to very closed nature of X.com


at least I can read posts from public officials without an account on Bsky. representatives and public organizations using sites that require an account & agreement with a third party private Terms and Services just to read their posts should be illegal
