In the dynamic world of social media, platforms evolve, and so do the needs of the communities that use them. For UkraineBoost, a champion of Ukraine\u2019s fight for freedom and peace, the time has come to make a significant change: stepping away from Twitter and moving to Bluesky. Here\u2019s an in-depth look at why this move is essential and how it aligns with our mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Shifting Tone on Twitter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Elon Musk\u2019s takeover of Twitter, the platform\u2019s environment has changed noticeably. What was once a space for connection and support has become increasingly polarized. The overall tone has shifted to become more confrontational, making it difficult for organizations that focus on unity and hope, like UkraineBoost, to maintain positive engagement. As this shift continues, staying on Twitter has become more challenging for those who prioritize constructive and supportive interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Growing Presence of Fake Accounts and Bots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another critical factor contributing to our decision is the marked increase in fake accounts and automated bots on Twitter. The spread of misinformation and disinformation compromises the reliability of the platform and dilutes genuine communication. For UkraineBoost, which depends on clear, transparent messages to rally support for Ukraine, this noise reduces the effectiveness of our outreach and poses a challenge to our mission of fostering real, impactful connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Problem with Leadership Stances<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps the most concerning change has been Elon Musk\u2019s public stance regarding Ukraine. His comments and actions, viewed by many as unsupportive or even detrimental to Ukraine\u2019s defense efforts, have created an atmosphere that goes against UkraineBoost\u2019s core values. At a time when the focus should be on building stability and security, such views contribute to greater uncertainty and divisiveness. For UkraineBoost, being present on a platform that aligns itself with such views is no longer sustainable or morally justifiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Bluesky Offers a Better Alternative<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bluesky, a rapidly growing platform, presents a fresh opportunity for UkraineBoost to continue our work in an environment that values authenticity and constructive dialogue. With more than a million users already signing up, Bluesky has quickly become a hub for those seeking genuine engagement. The platform\u2019s emphasis on user control, transparency, and community-driven moderation ensures that voices are heard without the manipulation often seen on other platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For UkraineBoost, this means being able to share updates, stories, and initiatives without the noise of fake accounts or the risk of platform policies that conflict with our mission. Bluesky\u2019s values align closely with our focus on support, resilience, and the collective good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join UkraineBoost on Bluesky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As we make this transition, we encourage our supporters and community to join us on Bluesky at ukraineboost.bsky.social<\/strong>. Here, we will continue to share important updates and foster conversations that inspire unity and support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
