摘要

蓝天(Bluesky)是一个类似于 Twitter 的去中心化社交媒体平台,最近越来越受欢迎。在经过邀请期后,它于 2024 年 2 月 6 日向全球公众开放。在本文中,我们对开放前后两个月内的用户活动进行了纵向分析,研究了由于用户群的快速增长而导致的平台总体特征的变化。我们观察到活动的广泛分布与更成熟的平台相似,但原创内容的数量高于共享内容,而且毒性很低。向公众开放后,Blueskye 的新用户和活跃度激增,尤其是发布英语和日语内容的用户。特别是,一些账户以可疑的行为进入讨论,如关注许多账户和分享低可信度新闻机构的内容。其中一些已被列为垃圾邮件或被暂停,这表明审核工作卓有成效。

The Dawn of Decentralized Social Media: An Exploration of Bluesky's Public Opening
Bluesky is a Twitter-like decentralized social media platform that has recently grown in popularity. After an invite-only period, it opened to the public worldwide on February 6th, 2024. In this paper, we provide a longitudinal analysis of user activity in the two months around the opening, studying changes in the general characteristics of the platform due to the rapid growth of the user base. We observe a broad distribution of activity similar to more established platforms, but a higher volume of original than reshared content, and very low toxicity. After opening to the public, Bluesky experienced a large surge in new users and activity, especially posting English and Japanese content. In particular, several accounts entered the discussion with suspicious behavior, like following many accounts and sharing content from low-credibility news outlets. Some of these have already been classified as spam or suspended, suggesting effective moderation.
