Bluesky is focusing on developing features to detect harmful posts and spam and make them less likely to appear on the timeline, and these features have resulted in a 79% reduction in posts reported for antisocial behavior. Bluesky believes that 'stopping and thinking before posting' is important to creating high-quality conversations, so it decided to add the draft feature.

Bluesky mentioned that there have been many requests for adding a draft feature, saying, 'Why did it take so long? We're still working on a clever answer, but it will be released as soon as it's ready.'

Bluesky also mentioned improvements to the feed function and the introduction of real-time features in its 2026 roadmap, and announced the introduction of a new 'live event feed,' a dedicated space for discussing ongoing events.

Furthermore, Bluesky predicts that 'more links will be clicked.' Social media platforms are pursuing strategies to lock users into their own platforms, as evidenced by X (formerly Twitter) 's move to deprioritize posts containing links . Bluesky points out that 'the internet started to go awry when social platforms began to believe they were the 'hosts of the world wide web.' The host is not the platform itself.'

Bluesky sees its platform as 'a place to share the great things you find on the web and create yourself,' and instead of locking users into its platform, it will focus on 'reducing the time users spend on Bluesky.'
