Why ELFpedia Is Moving from Twitter to Bluesky

From elfpedia.eu

Over the past years, Twitter/X has faced increasing challenges that have disrupted the user experience, including paywalls for basic features, rising misinformation, and concerns about platform stability. These issues have led many users, including sports communities, to seek alternative platforms.

Another growing problem on Twitter/X has been the prevalence of spam accounts and questionable advertisements. These distractions not only clutter timelines but also make it harder for everyone to find genuine, high-quality content. For a community passionate about American football in Europe, this has negatively impacted the experience of following the sport and staying connected with reliable updates.

Bluesky [1] offers a fresh approach to social media, focusing on user control and a decentralized structure through its AT Protocol [2]. These features ensure greater transparency and an improved experience for sports fans and content creators alike. [3]

As a platform dedicated to covering American football in Europe, ELFpedia wants to remain accessible, engaging, and part of a community that values authenticity and innovation.

By joining ELFpedia on Bluesky, you'll continue to get top-quality football content in an environment built for the future.

The ELF Bubble at Bluesky[edit | edit source]

Of course, it is not easy at the beginning of a change to leave something that has grown over the years for something new.

To make it easier for you to get started, we have created a starter pack containing people who mainly post content about the European League of Football. There you can follow all the listed accounts with just one click.

We have also created a feed that contains the most common hashtags and lists posts that contain at least one of these hashtags.

Mastodon[edit | edit source]
