The future of social media seems to be in personalized, algorithmic features rather than being limited to a traditional timeline. While Twitter is the most popular platform to use this new technology, other sites such as Threads and Bluesky are attempting to roll out similar features.
Recently, Threads–a rival to Twitter—was a hit with the younger generation. This platform emphasized personalization over a standard timeline. And it’s clear that personalization is being embraced by businesses and users alike. As such, other sites are beginning to adopt this trend of personalization.
Bluesky has recently introduced a new personalized and algorithmic feed. With this new feature, users can actively engage with content tailored to their interests and preferences. The platform also allows users to adjust a set of privacy settings based on what content they would and wouldn’t prefer to be seen by others.
This personalized feed also promises to reduce the amount of spam and irrelevant content. With algorithms in place, users are less likely to encounter content that is not interesting or relevant to them. Furthermore, Bluesky has integrated in-app polls and surveys to better gauge its users’ opinions and interests. This helps the algorithm analyze user preferences and create better personalized feeds.
Overall, this new personalized feed from Bluesky is a sign of the times. As more businesses embrace personalization, it seems inevitable that users will see more of these features within different platforms.
To make the most out of this personalized feed, users should take advantage of the new polls and surveys to express their interests and tastes. Doing so will result in a feed that contains more of the content they enjoy, allowing for better connected online experiences.
