Bluesky, the Claimed Competitor of ‘X,’ is Now Available For All

Bluesky, a social media platform founded by Jack Dorsey, who also co-founded Twitter (now called ‘X’), has removed its invite-only model feature and has expanded for all users; technology experts believe that the move is likely to attract a massive number of users.

As per available data, Bluesky has a user base of 3 Million and similarities in interface and features. The platform plans to launch its self-made open-source AT protocol, known as “federation”. The protocol aims to allow all users to create their profiles on the protocol. 

The update should be implemented by the end of the ongoing months. AT protocol authorized users to move their friends, followers, and other data to contending social media companies and stay true to the company’s idea of helping users create “the last social account” they’ll ever need to make.   

Introducing the AT protocol will help third-party developers design a server with their own rules. While talking to The Verge, Jay Graber, the chief executive officer of Bluesky, said, “I think we’re going to start off with a sort of slow roll, rate limit things, make sure that the network doesn’t change overnight.” 

It is believed that the idea of the development of Bluesky was in the mind of Dorsey when he was working with ‘X,’ formerly Twitter; the primary aim of developing a new idea was to create a social media platform that any single entity could not control. 

X has more than 300 million users, which helps it gain rank among leading global social media platforms. Earlier this year, the deal with Twitter was finalized for $44 Billion; now, the firm belongs to Elon Musk, a global billionaire. 

Dozens of data sources claim that the owner of X is a crypto enthusiast and is most often seen appreciating a meme coin pioneer, Dogecoin. Interestingly, a crypto wallet is identified as holding millions of meme coins and claimed to be associated with a Tesla owner.
