While Bluesky may not yet match the feature set of more established platforms, it plans to introduce video functionalities in its next major update, which could further enhance its appeal and help retain its growing user base. The platform, founded in 2019 by Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, initially launched as an invite-only network but opened to the public earlier this year.
Interestingly, Dorsey, who left Bluesky’s board in May, has since expressed concerns about the platform “repeating the mistakes” he made while running Twitter. Despite this, Bluesky’s recent surge demonstrates its growing popularity and potential to become a significant player in the social media landscape.
Bluesky’s rapid growth points to a broader trend of users seeking alternative social media platforms that prioritize user control, privacy, and innovative features. As the platform continues to evolve and expand its offerings, it will be exciting to see how it shapes the future of social networking and whether it can sustain its current momentum.
