"Bluesky Social Network Removes Waitlist, Opens to Public"

Bluesky, a micro-blogging platform funded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has opened to the public after a year as an invite-only app. The platform, which operates on a decentralized infrastructure called the AT Protocol, allows users to have more control over their social media experience and offers open source code for transparency and customization. Bluesky aims to provide a good user experience while also introducing features such as open federation and customizable content moderation services. However, the platform faces the challenge of competing with established networks like Threads and Mastodon, and must address concerns about harmful content and bad actors in the decentralized space.
