There's a new social network gaining steam — and no, this isn't a story from 2010.
Catch up quick: Bluesky, an alternative to Twitter (now X), launched in 2021, but has experienced a surge of users since the election.
The intrigue: Bluesky's commitment to moderation and stance against hate speech and racism come as a contrast to what some perceive as a toxic free-for-all on X.
Here are a few local accounts you'll find if you're getting started:
👋 A variety of Axios reporters, including our own Andrew King and Tyler Buchanan.
🗞️ Many in the Columbus mediasphere, featured in this Starter Pack from Columbus Underground.
🛍️ Local businesses like The Book Loft, Two Dollar Radio and Supporter Supply Co.
🏛️ Early-adopting organizations and municipalities, including Grove City, Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio State Football and Thurber House.
