Abstract
Social media (SoMe) has become an integral tool in modern pathology, facilitating education, research, mentorship, and professional networking. However, the evolving landscape of SoMe platforms presents both opportunities and challenges for pathologists. Bluesky, a decentralized platform launched publically in 2024 has gained significant traction among pathologists as an alternative to "traditional," or more widely-used, platforms like Twitter/X. This narrative review explores the role of SoMe in pathology, introduces Bluesky and its pathology-focused community PathSky, and compares it with other platforms. In addition, practical guidance on joining Bluesky and engaging with PathSky is provided. By embracing innovative platforms like Bluesky, pathologists can enhance collaboration, education, and professional growth in the digital age.
