Of course, it has similarities with Mastodon in its architecture (launched on Android in 2022 as another of the important alternatives to X), although many prefer Bluesky because it is more intuitive and without so many rules or a more complex system. Bluesky continues at a good pace and only It takes time for more brands and users to leave other social networksmainly since X, and even more so with all the changes it’s going through and how it’s becoming too polarized a social network.
