READING:

The social media site Bluesky is growing quickly. It is getting one million new users every day. It became popular after the U.S. Presidential Election. Many people are using Bluesky instead of X, Facebook and Threads. Bluesky is the most downloaded free app in Apple's app store. A digital media journalist said: "Bluesky works and looks and feels just like Twitter." Bluesky has a fresh feel and gives users more control.

Bluesky started in 2019 as a research project at Twitter. It is similar to Twitter. Even the logos are similar. Twitter's was a blue bird; Bluesky has a blue butterfly. The name Bluesky comes from an idea that a bird flies freely in an open blue sky. This open blue sky is like free speech. Bluesky users can focus on posts they are interested in. If they want, they can choose to have only posts that have cat photos or posts related to sports.
