While the basic user experience is very Twitter - esque , with the power to partake abbreviated office and pictures , as well as comment and like , it ’s the underlie bodily structure of Bluesky that stands out . It ’s a so - call “ federate social net ” , which mean that it ’s not run from a key placement . Rather , multiple service providers can communicate with one another , a bit like electronic mail .
It intend that you have far more possession of your Bluesky account , rather than a monolithic society and its potentially demented chief operating officer basically holding the keys to your online identity element .
