Bluesky will have a leadership reshuffle: Jay Graber is stepping down as CEO and will become Bluesky’s Chief Innovation Officer, while investor Toni Schneider takes over as interim CEO as Bluesky searches for a permanent replacement; Graber will focus on building new features for a platform that has grown from about 30 million users to 40 million in roughly a year, with an emphasis on an open, user-controlled social web.
Bluesky, a social media platform, has grown to 24 million users following the US election, prompting CEO Jay Graber to focus on maintaining a quality user experience without resorting to ads. Instead, Bluesky plans to introduce subscription services for premium features, though this rollout has been delayed due to rapid user growth. Originally incubated within Twitter, Bluesky became independent before Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, now X. Despite its growth, Bluesky faces competition from Meta's Threads, which also continues to expand.
Bluesky, a decentralized social platform, led by CEO Jay Graber, faces challenges as it opens to the public. The platform, which uses the AT Protocol for social networking, allows users to modify the code and create custom algorithmic feeds. Graber aims to prioritize user experience and agency, but the open source nature raises concerns about content moderation and potential misuse by bad actors.
