You can hide or get warnings for content categorized as sensitive, extremist or intolerant. Same goes for posts that are misleading, spread misinformation or propagate a scam. You can also
mute or block specific accounts as well as filter out certain words or tags. WHAT ARE YOU ALLOWED TO POST? You can access Bluesky for free through the app or on a computer, and as with other
social media, you can post text, images and videos, as well as reply or repost what others surface. Oh, and you can weigh in with a Like. Bluesky has a 300-character limit, compared to 280
characters for the free version of microblogging app X and 500 characters for Threads. The number of photos you can post has no current limit, and you can upload up to 25 videos or 10 GB
daily. A company spokesperson says such limits might get tweaked in the future. As with early Twitter, which it resembles, you can follow and message other people and have other people
follow and message you back. HOW TO GET STARTED ON BLUESKY Until February 2023, Bluesky was invitation only but now is open to anyone. When you first enlist, you must enter your email,
choose a password and indicate your birthday. Next, you get to pick a handle — your name, company or whatever in front of .bsky.social. Mine for folks who want to follow me is
@edbaig.bsky.social. You’re prompted to choose subjects that interest you: culture, food, movies, news, pets, sports, tech and so on. Bluesky uses these to customize the experience and help
build out your network. As you navigate Bluesky, the various feeds you follow are all listed under an aptly named place called My Feeds. By default, you’ll find a Discover feed, which is
meant to mix what’s trending with the accounts you follow. It’s probably the closest thing to the algorithm-driven feeds of other social media. A separate Mutuals feed is where you can see
posts from users who follow you back. And a Popular With Friends feed is just that, a blend of content from accounts you follow and accounts your followers like.
