Bluesky’s Privacy-First Contact Import: Finding Friends Without the Creepy Side

Tired of social networks that creepily force-feed you "friend suggestions" from your contacts? Meet Bluesky's new "Find Friends" feature. It's like the friendly neighborhood block party, but with zero privacy hangovers.
Here’s the kicker: it’s "privacy-first by design." That tech jargon means two things — you don’t get found unless you want to, and your contacts don’t get uploaded to a creepy server to be mined for data gold.
How it works? You verify your phone, upload contacts, and get pinged only if both sides say “hey, let’s connect.” No sneaky scans, no data selling. Just finding your buds, old and new, on your terms.
It’s a classy move from Bluesky, proving privacy and social don’t have to be enemies. Social networks, take notes: this is how you make making friends fun again — no awkward revelations, no ghosting, just solid connections.
So if you’re over the unsolicited friend radar, Bluesky's update might just be the refresh social media needs.
