Ditching The Algorithm: Why I Joined Bluesky (And You Should Too)

For years, social media has been both a megaphone and an equalizer, a place where anyone can share art, advocate for change, and build community. As algorithms tighten their grip, prioritizing paid content over organic reach, many of us have felt like we’re shouting into the void. That’s why I joined Bluesky, and honestly? It’s the breath of fresh air I didn’t know I needed.

Unlike other platforms that bury independent voices under engagement-driven feeds, Bluesky offers a decentralized, user-first experience where creators and changemakers can connect without interference. No forced ads. No shadowy algorithms deciding who sees your work. Just real conversations, real visibility, and a space designed for free expression and discovery.

For artists, this means your work isn’t trapped in an engagement loop where only viral posts survive—you can actually reach the people who care about your art. For activists, it’s an opportunity to share important messages without corporate interference, censorship traps, or algorithmic suppression. The community is vibrant, thoughtful, and eager to uplift rather than tear down.

I’ve been on social media for years, but Bluesky already feels more rewarding than platforms I’ve spent a decade building on. If you’re tired of fighting for visibility, exhausted by pay-to-play models, or just looking for a social space that prioritizes people over profit, come join me.
