This article analyzes the discursive dynamics present in the community identified by the hashtag #AcademicSky on the Bluesky platform, understanding it as a digital space for the circulation of knowledge and the constitution of academic identities. Grounded in the dialogical theory of the Bakhtin Circle, particularly the categories of dialogism, authorship, and responsiveness, the study articulates discursive analysis and netnographic approach to examine public posts collected within a defined time frame. The analysis of the utterances demonstrates that the hashtag operates as both a thematic aggregator and a marker of community belonging, organizing discursive chains in which multiple voices intersect. Digital interactions are shown to constitute informal formative practices in which meanings are negotiated, axiological positions are constructed, and academic identities are performed. The findings suggest that the #AcademicSky community represents an emerging micro-genre within digital culture, indicating that decentralized social networks function not merely as technological infrastructures but as discursive environments shaped by dialogism, enunciative responsibility, and symbolic disputes in the contemporary scientific field.
