Bluesky is a microblogging social network that is reminiscent of the beginnings of Twitter and, in fact, emerged from the Twitter team before it became known as X. Despite their similar appearance, there are substantial differences between the two platforms: Bluesky aims to be a decentralised network and, at least for now, it has no advertising and the content displayed is not determined by algorithms, so each user sees by default the messages of the accounts they follow in chronological order.

ISGlobal's leap to Bluesky comes at a time when many people and institutions in the scientific community are betting on this new channel in which, at least initially, the users themselves are the ones who decide what they want to see and, consequently, all profiles are on an equal footing.

The new Bluesky account will coexist with those that ISGlobal maintains on other social networks, such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X and Tiktok.
