Blosski adds a special reference Techcrunch

Bluesky starts up social networks by offering one of the most demanding users’ features, not an editing button! Reference.

The company announced on Monday the new addition, which is called the preserved posts. This feature can be accessed by a new reference icon under each post, next to the heart.

Then you can view the preserved posts at any time from the new “Al Mahfouz” section of the main navigation of the application.

Although it may seem to have to have both likes and reference signals on the social application because both of them offer a way to distinguish a post to refer later, the reference signals provide a special alternative to “Like”. On Bluesky, your account and its associated data in general, which means that you are also general. This does not work for everyone, because some of the things that a personality provides, or simply are not the types of things you want to announce publicly.

For example, journalists may keep the posts that they aim to refer later later, but they do not necessarily want to broadcast that they have just started searching for something, which may call unwanted attention. Others may simply want to put a reference signal on their favorite adult content.

On X, Elon Musk realizes that the general nature of the proverbs can actually reduce participation, which prompted the company Last year to hide the likes of users. According to X employees at the time, general likes can stimulate the wrong behavior, as people may feel frustrated by the admiration of the content that may be “excited”, or to protect their general image.

the In the protocolThat irritates Bluesky and other smaller social applications, not yet supporting the data, so there is no way to hide the likes of users. Instead, the company built a method Save a reference for the user outside the protocol Currently, which allows them to be private, similar to DMS (private messages). If and when the protocol develops to support special data, Things can change.

Meanwhile, adding posts preserved to Bluesky can encourage users to engage in the platform content, with a way to look at a set of coordinated only from the posts that you want to refer to later, instead of everything you liked while passing your extracts. It will also provide an alternative to responding to posts with red expressive symbols, and many Bluesky users now do as a solution to provide the posts they want to return to. (There is even A nice small deportation tool For those who used this method.)

Continue the addition is another recent update to the Bluesky application, which It was released only a few days agoSubmit a button now provides photo and video downloads, tools to make notes to customized feed creators, and a way to add people to a starting garden (a group of recommended people to follow up, which anyone can create).
