Bluesky is now allowing heads of states to sign up

Bluesky lifted its ban on sign-ups for heads of state over the weekend. This means various office holders can join the platform.

Bluesky’s move comes ahead of major general elections in countries like the U.S. and India scheduled to be held this year. With the social network now allowing political heads to join the platform, there could be new types of moderation issues that it hasn’t faced yet. However, Bluesky users don’t have to rely on a central algorithm to look at different kinds of political content, as they can subscribe to different feeds.
