Jack Dorsey-backed Decentralized Social Platform Bluesky Open to Public

• The dedication to open-source development is a distinguishing quality of Bluesky.
• Third-party developers have unparalleled visibility into the platform’s processes.

Public access to Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform backed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has been made available. This platform for microblogging aspires to take on the X (twitter) platform, now owned by Elon Musk.

Bluesky, a decentralized social media network, is opening up to the public and has the enormous challenge of competing with established players like Mastodon and Twitter.

Bluesky faces tough competition from well-established platforms like Threads (which has 130 million active users per month) and Mastodon (which has 1.8 million users per month), despite having about 3 million sign-ups during its pre-launch period.

Platform’s Foundation Sets It Apart

Despite Bluesky’s glaring similarities to Twitter in design and features, the platform’s foundation is what sets it apart. The Bluesky project has its roots in an internal initiative at Twitter and seeks to build a decentralized ecosystem for social media called the AT Protocol.

The dedication to open-source development is a distinguishing quality of Bluesky. Because its source code is open source and available to everyone, third-party developers have unparalleled visibility into the platform’s design and development processes.

Because of this transparency, developers may build on top of the AT Protocol and create anything from new social media sites to bespoke algorithms.

Users have greater say over their social media experience on Bluesky than on Instagram or other centralized platforms. Bluesky also lets customers make their own content moderation services, which is a great way to make it more personalized.

On the other hand, abuse of servers or moderation services is something to worry about. To combat this, Bluesky is working to reduce discoverability and protect users from potentially hazardous content.
