2026-08-21	Gr*****	Getting really tired of the age sharing.. multiple times in the same day, and I am still in the same location. It should remember my answer and not ask me over and over.

2026-08-20	Bø*****	Even though my settings are set to always share my age range, every SINGLE time I open Bluesky, I’m asked to share my age range! This is so damn annoying that it’s pointless to keep this app on any of my devices.

2026-08-20	NM*****	Am I going to have to verify my age range every single time I open the app?? This is ridiculous.

2026-08-19	Ga*****	Even if you use Apple’s share age range feature so you don’t have to give over your ID, they’ll pester you and make you share your age range EVERY SINGLE TIME you open the app. Support is no help. They don’t even read your emails and just tell you to contact KWS even though I didn’t verify through that service.

2026-08-19	Th*****	I understand Bluesky wants to comply with Texas law, but, an age verification screen every time I open the app is a bit much.

2026-08-18	Sk*****	New CEO is a maga and doesn’t like free speech. They violated my first amendment rights on many occasions. Had 18.5k followers and just deleted my account. Looking for a new free speech app.

2026-08-17	Ja*****	Bluesky has fair moderation, it keeps the public informed in a safe way, it is where 98% of “Gay Twitter” refugees relocated, so for me that’s was a huge plus as most if not ALL of my friends are here or (soon) will be here on the app with us. It’s a great app — new functions and features are being added ALL the time, and now this app has surpassed Twitter in terms of quality of content and ease of use. Also, data is available for you to erase or download as you need, and they keep the MAGA crowd from doing what they do on every other platform out there — destroy it with hate. It’s the only app of this kind that I’ll use actively because of this. Keep it up, BSky team!
