As Twitter‘s regulations continue to change, some users are seeking alternatives to the platform, and Jack Dorsey’s Bluesky may be one. Bluesky is an invite-only beta app that showcases a new social protocol, AT, aimed at creating a decentralized social network, similar to Mastodon’s ActivityPub protocol. Although Bluesky was originally incubated within Twitter and received $13 million in funding, its future is uncertain due to Jack Dorsey’s departure as CEO and Twitter’s acquisition by Elon Musk. Additionally, several companies have committed to embracing ActivityPub, and polished Mastodon clients like Ivory and Mammoth have gained significant traction. However, Bluesky’s arrival on the App Store suggests a public launch may be near, and its ability to compete with decentralized alternatives to Twitter remains to be seen. As per recent news, the Bluesky app is now available on Android, but users still need an invite code to join the platform.

Those lucky enough to get in have reported a friendly and engaging environment that closely resembles Twitter in its early days. The platform is still missing some basic features like Direct Messages, but developers and engineers are working to build the infrastructure that will support it. The rise of Bluesky comes at a time when concerns over censorship and control of user data are at an all-time high. Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter last year has led to significant changes to the platform, and many users are looking for a more open and democratic alternative.

Bluesky represents a promising development in the world of social media, one that has the potential to give users more control over their online experience and create a more community-driven platform for communication and interaction. With the backing of Jack Dorsey and a team of talented developers, Bluesky may just be the social media platform that users have been waiting for.
