A social network similar to Twitter It is in beta phase, that is, it is not yet available to all users, but it is constantly being updated before the official launch. your Creator, Jack Dorseyis also the founder of Twitter and the former CEO.

The new app is called Blue sky and it’s an alternative for users who don’t want to continue on the social network run by Elon Musk because of the changes he’s made to the platform. Twitter now has a paid subscription option to verify accounts, edit tweets, and write up to 4,000 characters in one post, though many Twitter users fear Musk isn’t the best person to run the company.

‘Much better than that other guy’, Elon Musk calls his dog as CEO of Twitter (hopefully joking)

Therefore, many people migrate from social networks and Bluesky becomes an option that will soon be available to everyone.

At first glance, the interface of both applications is very similar. The posts have the buttons to comment, repost and add to favorites, the profile shows all the interactions the user has had on the social network and there is a tab for notifications. However, the main difference between Bluesky and Twitter is that in Bluesky, the same profiles create their own algorithmrather than the company making do with its recommendations.

“We are building the AT protocol, a new foundation for social media that gives creators platform independence, developers the freedom to create and users a choice in their experience,” the Bluesky website states.

The “AT Protocol” is a new federated social network that integrates ideas from the latest decentralized technologies into a single network. According to a Bluesky tweet, a federated social network is “a way for servers to communicate with each other, like email. Instead of one site running the network, you can have many sites. Users can choose the provider and individuals and companies can self-host if they wish.”

It is driven by four pillars: account portability, algorithmic choice, interoperability, and performance.

“The word “Bluesky” conjures up a wide open space of possibilities. It was the original name of this project before it took shape, and it remains the name of our company,” Bluesky’s blog reads.

Bluesky doesn’t have a firm release date yet, but it promises to be a network of networks that could replace Twitter and create a new form of global communication with its protocol.
