Bluesky, the decentralized social network, is set to revolutionize its platform with a slew of new features. From direct messages to video support, custom feed enhancements, and robust moderation controls, Bluesky is soaring to new heights.
In a world where social media platforms are a dime a dozen, Bluesky is carving out its niche in the digital sky. The decentralized social network recently unveiled its ambitious product roadmap, promising a host of new features that are sure to have users on cloud nine.
First on the agenda? Direct messaging. Bluesky is developing a DM service that will be integrated into the app, using the decentralized AT Protocol. The initial version will facilitate one-on-one chats and give users control over who can slide into their DMs. But Bluesky isn’t stopping there. Plans are already in the works for an on-protocol DM, taking user communication to the next level.
What's next for Bluesky? We're working on some of your most requested features: DMs, video, improved Custom Feeds, better anti-harassment features, and a new login tool called "OAuth" Check out the roadmap here: bsky.social/about/blog/0…

But what’s a social network without a personalized feed? Bluesky is also working on enhancing its custom feeds. While third-party tools currently offer some customization, Bluesky is going above and beyond. In-app feed creation, improved feed discovery, a new trending feeds view, and the ability to submit posts to feeds are all in the pipeline. Users will also be able to curate submissions and manually moderate them, giving them unprecedented control over their feed.

And let’s not forget about video support. Bluesky is exploring ways to extend video support on the platform, opening up new avenues for user expression. Plus, an “OAuth” login mechanism is in the works, which would allow users to “Log in with Bluesky” to different services related to the social network. Say goodbye to remembering separate passwords for third-party apps.
In a nutshell, Bluesky is not just reaching for the stars – it’s aiming to become one. With these new features on the horizon, the sky’s the limit for this decentralized social network. So buckle up, Bluesky users – you’re in for a thrilling ride!
