The decentralized social network Bluesky has rolled out a new update with several features designed to improve the user experience. These include the ability to pin posts to profiles, customize fonts and text sizes, and apply language filters to search results.
Bluesky will now let you pin posts, apply language filters, and customize fonts and text sizes. The decentralized short posting platform announced these and other new features via the Threads account it created yesterday, seizing the chance to promote its superiority — “we’re not owned by a billionaire” — to increasingly frustrated users of its Meta rival.
The update adds a new option that allows users to pin posts to the top of their profiles, similar to how they’re displayed on X. The ability to switch between two different fonts and adjust text sizing has also been added to the Appearance settings, though Bluesky says the “Theme” font provides a better user experience than the “System” option.
