Bluesky, championed by Jack Dorsey, was supposed to be Twitter 2.0. Can it succeed?

[ad_1] Bluesky, the internet's hottest members-only spot at the moment, feels a bit like an exclusive club, populated by some Very Online folks, popular Twitter characters, and fed up ex-users of the Elon Musk-owned platform.Musk is not on it — and this might be part of the appeal for those longing for the way things were before the Tesla billionaire bought Twitter and upended nearly everything about the social network, from rules against harassment to content moderation to its system for verifying prominent users' identities. It also helps that Bluesky grew out of Twitter — a pet project of former CEO Jack Dorsey, who still sits on its board of directors. “It was designed to replace Twitter,” said Sol Messing, who worked at Twitter as a data scientist until January and is now associate...

Big boost for users, Bluesky Social open-sources codebase

[ad_1] Bluesky Social, a popular beta social network, has taken a significant step towards open-source development on May 15th that will benefit users immensely. The codebase for its Bluesky Social app was made available on GitHub. This aligns with the network's goal of being "open and decentralised." Unlike Twitter, which struggles with open-source issues, Bluesky's client code is open to anyone for improvement or as a foundation for their own social networks. In contrast, Twitter's recommendation code is essentially unusable. Bluesky offers its client code to anyone interested in enhancing it or utilising it as the foundation for their own social network.

More power to users? Bluesky takes on Twitter, to decentralize social media experience with AT Protocol

[ad_1] Ever since Twitter was acquired by billionaire Elon Musk, the user base has been highly polarized on the platform. While one-half of the Twitter population has been on board with the new developments, the other half is not at all happy. People wanted a better alternative and soon, a number of Twitter-like platforms began emerging. From Mastodon to Substack Notes, they all claimed to offer something different, but none were able to create a buzz similar to Bluesky. The platform was conceptualized and designed by Twitter ex-CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey and is built on a promise of creating a decentralized platform using an innovative Authenticated Transfer Protocol (AT Protocol) as its foundation.And the combination of a decentralized social media platform and the Twitter cofound...
