Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has announced the launch of BlueSky Social, a new social network app.
Dorsey co-founded Twitter 17 years ago and briefly served as its CEO. He returned as CEO in 2015 and left in 2021.
This comes just a week after billionaire businessman Elon Musk purchased Twitter in a N19.2 trillion $44 billion deal.
Bluesky social, Dorsey’s blockchain firm, has announced that it is presently accepting beta testers.
The announcement persuaded approximately 30,000 consumers to sign up within two days, according to the company reps.
BlueSky promises that its programme would allow users to switch between multiple social platforms using only one high-quality browser. Users will be able to control what they view and how much data is supplied to social networks as a result of this (algorithmic choice).
According to sources, the corporation may be employing web3 to attain this network performance.
Furthermore, BlueSky promises its consumers that AT Protocol would provide anonymity for unaccountable collaborations that own a person’s online identity. Accounts, on the other hand, can be transferred from one provider to another without data or social network loss.
Jack Dorsey declared in 2019 that Twitter is evolving towards an open and decentralised social media standard.
Private text exchanges between Dorsey and Elon Musk that were leaked months ago revealed Dorsey advising Musk that a new platform is needed and that it cannot be a firm, and that Twitter should have an open-sourced protocol similar to what encrypted messaging platforms like Signal have.
