Another New Twitter? Good Luck With That.

Bluesky, a social media platform created by one of Twitter's original founders, Jack Dorsey, has gained popularity as users seek an alternative to Twitter. Many users have left Twitter due to the rise in hateful slurs and the company's alignment with Trump. However, the article questions whether Bluesky can avoid the same fate as Twitter and other social media platforms that have become toxic over time. The author reflects on the history of the internet and the initial optimism that it would be a unifying force for good, but acknowledges that existing inequalities and power structures have been replicated in online spaces. While Bluesky offers a decentralized ownership model and a focus on positive impact, it remains to be seen whether it can truly provide a healthier online environment.
