Bluesky: The App That Could Replace Twitter?
TL;DR Summary
Bluesky is a decentralized social app conceptualized by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and developed in parallel with Twitter. The app has a Twitter-like user interface with algorithmic choice, a federated design, and community-specific moderation. Bluesky is using an open-source framework built in-house, the AT Protocol, meaning people outside of the company have transparency into how it is built and what is being developed. The app is currently invite-only, but it has around 50,000 users, and it plans to be federated, meaning that endless individually operated communities can exist within the open-source network.
