Cyber Skills Moves to BlueSky

Cyber Skills is excited to announce that we are moving from X to
BlueSky. This aligns with our strategy to prioritize security, privacy, and
user control—areas where we feel BlueSky excels over X.
BlueSky is committed to limiting data collection. Unlike X, which uses
data for targeted ads, BlueSky promises not to use your data for ads,
sharing, or AI training. This ensures our data stays private and reduces
the risk of exploitation.
As a decentralized platform, BlueSky offers users and businesses more
control over their data. Unlike X’s centralized system, BlueSky allows
users to customize their feeds and avoid manipulative algorithms. This
decentralization promotes transparency, ownership, and trust.
BlueSky also lowers the risk of large-scale data breaches. Its AT
protocol helps keep user data secure, offering a safer alternative to X,
where data misuse is more likely.
For businesses, BlueSky enables authentic engagement with audiences.
Users can self-host their networks and customize security and
moderation policies. With full control over data-sharing, businesses can
minimize data exposure risks.
Though BlueSky’s community is smaller than X’s, its growth is rapid, and
user feedback is positive. Many X users, frustrated by a chaotic and
polarized environment, are making the switch to BlueSky.
BlueSky does face challenges, such as combating bots and potential
echo chambers. However, its user-driven approach offers potential for
customization and meaningful engagement.
At Cyber Skills, we’re excited to be part of BlueSky. We believe the
platform will help us connect with the cybersecurity community, free from
X’s limitations.
