The adoption of distributed networks such as Bluesky represents a shift in the landscape of social media from older centralized platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and X/Twitter. This evolution is driven by growing concerns over centralized control, algorithmic manipulation, and data privacy. The recent TikTok ban in the United States has further highlighted the vulnerabilities inherent in centralized systems. In contrast, distributed social media platforms, like Bluesky, offer a more resilient and user-centric alternative, reminiscent of the early days of blogging with RSS and Atom feeds.
