references/REFERENCES.mdBluesky is fundamentally different from Twitter/X:
| Aspect | Bluesky | Twitter/X |
|---|---|---|
| Algorithm | User-controlled, multiple feeds | Platform-controlled |
| Character limit | 300 | 280 (more for Premium) |
| Discovery | Hashtags + custom feeds | Algorithmic "For You" |
| Links | No penalty | Historically penalized |
| Ads | None | Extensive |
| Verification | Link your domain (free) | Paid subscription |
Key insight: There's no algorithm to "beat." Growth comes from conversations and community.
Bluesky doesn't have a trending page — hashtags are your discovery mechanism.
Beginning: Immediately categorizes content
End: Maintains readability (most common)
