The app has yet to roll out fully, but we’ve had a few glimpses into the app’s details. Bluesky users can post text and photos and like or repost other people’s content. Like Twitter, user profiles can have a header image, a profile picture, and a bio, and can see each other’s follower counts.
People on Bluesky are dubbing the posts made on there as “Skeets,” a borrowing of the word Tweet and blending it with the word sky.
Bluesky is showing promise to be a serious Twitter competitor, as U.S. House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “Guardians of the Galaxy” director, James Gunn, and actors Pom Klementieff and Kumail Nanjiani have joined the app.
