Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does
As more users flee X, a clearer, sunnier social media age is dawning.
In the two years since Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X, the platform has become crowded with deceptive ads and unchecked misinformation. Now, with President-elect Donald Trump heading to the White House and Musk joining his administration, countless people announced their departure from X. Rival social media site Bluesky told Vox that 2.25 million new users have joined in the last week alone. And they’re having a blast.
Bluesky looks a lot like the old Twitter you knew and loved. It’s a reverse chronological feed of posts, including images, videos, and links that you can like and repost. Like old Twitter, your feed is not ruled by an algorithm. Meanwhile, Bluesky’s open source, decentralized framework gives you a lot more control over how your feed works than X or even Threads, the X alternative Meta has been pushing onto Instagram users.

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary, faced sex assault allegation
Hegseth, a former Fox News host, was not charged with a crime in connection with the reported 2017 incident.
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense and a former Fox News host, was investigated in 2017 over “an alleged sexual assault” at a California hotel that was hosting a gathering of Republican women, police said Friday.
Hegseth was not charged with a crime and the city of Monterey police, in its statement citing a police report, did not release any information about the alleged victim, who reported the incident on Oct. 12 of that year.
Police said the alleged assault occurred sometime between midnight Oct. 7 and 7 a.m. on Oct. 8 at the address of the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa on Del Monte Golf Course.
