Bluesky adds private bookmarks


Bluesky adds bookmarks so users can privately save posts they want to reference later.

Journalists, for example, may save posts they aim to reference later, but don’t necessarily want to broadcast that they’ve just started looking into something, which could invite unwanted attention. The AT Protocol, which powers Bluesky and other smaller social apps, doesn’t yet support private data, however, so there isn’t a way to hide users’ likes. The addition follows another recent update for the Bluesky app, which rolled out only days ago, offering a button that now offers both photo and video uploads, tools to provide feedback to custom feed creators, and a way to add people to a Starter Park (a pack of recommended people to follow, which anyone can create).
