Bluesky Reaches 40 Million Users and Tests New Dislike Feature
Bluesky has reached a major milestone, surpassing 40 million users worldwide. The social network also announced it will soon begin testing a dislike feature to help improve content recommendations.
The update aims to make Bluesky’s Discover feed more personalized and relevant for every user. By using dislikes, people can quietly guide the algorithm toward posts that fit their interests better.
Enhancing Conversations and Personalization
In addition to dislikes, Bluesky is rolling out new conversation control tools. These include improved reply settings, enhanced detection of toxic comments, and smarter moderation systems. As a result, users will see more meaningful discussions and fewer disruptive interactions.
For example, the new reply filters will make it easier to manage who can comment on your posts. At the same time, the platform’s upgraded moderation tools will automatically identify and limit harmful or spammy content.
Building a Healthier Social Network
Bluesky says the goal is to create a healthier and more enjoyable online space. Therefore, its focus on personalization and safety goes hand-in-hand. These updates will allow users to shape their experience based on what they actually like or dislike.
As Bluesky continues to grow, the platform is becoming a strong alternative to other social apps like X (formerly Twitter). With 40 million users and counting, Bluesky’s next phase of innovation may redefine how people interact in open social spaces.
