Bluesky - New Twitter Alternative - Explained for those in the "Greatest Generation"

What is Bluesky and How Did It Get a Million Users in One Day? #bluesky #onemillion #ThrasherTV #robthrasher #follow #newsocialmedia

Bluesky is a new social media app that’s kind of like Twitter but with some fresh ideas to make things better for users. It was created by Jack Dorsey, the guy who started Twitter, but now he wants something different—something fairer and more open.

What Makes Bluesky Special?
Bluesky is built to give people more control over their online lives. On most apps, your posts, followers, and personal data are stuck there—you can’t move them if you want to switch apps. Bluesky changes that. It’s made using something called the AT Protocol, which is a fancy way of saying you can take your stuff—like your profile and followers—with you if you move to another app that works the same way.

Here’s what people love about Bluesky:

You’re in charge of what you see: Instead of the app deciding what posts show up, you get to choose.
It protects your privacy: Bluesky doesn’t keep as much of your personal information.
You own your account: If you decide to leave Bluesky, you can take your profile and followers somewhere else.
How Did It Get So Popular?
Bluesky didn’t let everyone join at first—you needed an invite from someone already on the app. That made it feel exclusive, like getting a special club pass. When they finally opened the doors, a lot of people were excited to jump in and try it.

Another reason Bluesky grew so fast is because many people are frustrated with changes to Twitter, now called X. Things like confusing rules, more ads, and paid features have pushed people to look for other options. Bluesky felt like the good ol’ days of Twitter: simple, friendly, and fun.

Plus, big names like celebrities and tech experts started talking about it. When people saw their friends and favorite stars joining, they didn’t want to be left out.

What’s Next for Bluesky?
Bluesky has had an amazing start, adding over a million users in just one day. But now it has to keep people happy, improve its features, and make sure it can handle all the new users.

Bluesky is trying to bring back what people loved about social media—an easy way to connect without feeling like a big company is controlling everything. It might just be the next big thing!
