What is Bluesky?

Bluesky is a new social media network which has a very similar look and feel to Twitter (now X). Many former Twitter users have been moving to Bluesky as an alternative or addition to their social media portfolio. We’re excited to see a new platform in the ecosystem and feeliing a bit relieved from the clutter and congestion that X has been lately. 

Why is Bluesky Different?

On the technical side, Bluesky is a decentralized platform which makes it more democratic and less prone to control by a single owner. The underlying technology is opensource which provides transparency and improved security.

One clever feature is the custom name which replaces X’s paid verification checkmark. You will know that our Wild Haven profile is legitimate because you will see our username in the URL (https://bsky.app/profile/sunrisewildhaven.com). Any user of Bluesky can get a custom username for free. It’s a means of validation since we have to prove we own the sunrisewildhaven.com domain in order to use that username. This reduces the risk of spoof profiles for every user without enriching a corporation.

What will Wild Haven Post on Bluesky?

We plan to use Bluesky in much the same way we used to interact with Twitter. Bluesky will be useful for shorter messages, updates, and announcements. We will continue to use Instagram and Facebook since many users are still there. We will cross post some content but try to also include exclusive Bluesky-only content as well.

Will Wild Haven Continue to Use X?

We have not been active on X for some time now and do not intend to post actively there. We will not close our X account (at least for now).
