Bluesky: The Potential Twitter Replacement?

Bluesky, an invite-only decentralized social media platform, is being touted as a potential replacement for Twitter. The platform, which originated at Twitter in 2019 and became its own public benefit company in 2022, allows users to post text and images to a central feed, follow other users, and repost. Bluesky's key difference is that it is organized around a decentralized system, meaning user data can be stored on independent servers rather than ones owned by the company. The platform is currently in beta and invites are scarce, but it has already attracted high-profile users such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Chrissy Teigen.
