As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, the British Sociological Association (BSA) will begin transitioning from X (formerly Twitter) to Bluesky over the next three months. This decision is prompted by concerns over the platform’s evolving content moderation policies, which have allowed both disinformation and misinformation to spread unchecked, alongside an increasing tolerance for harmful rhetoric. Such developments are at odds with the BSA’s commitment to maintaining rigorous standards in scholarly communication and ensuring that intellectual discourse remains grounded in truth, responsibility, and ethical engagement.

While we will continue to share updates across both platforms during this transition, Bluesky will soon become our primary channel. By the end of this period, the BSA will be fully disengaging from X. We invite you to join us on Bluesky for continued access to our work, activities and the sociological community. You can find us at @britsoci.bsky.social

Additionally, our journals are currently evaluating their position on X, and we will provide further details on their plans shortly.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we take this important step. This move ensures that we can better serve the needs of our community while remaining steadfast in our commitment to rigorous, ethical discourse and scholarly integrity.

Thank you for being part of our community and we hope you’ll join us over on Bluesky.
