The name behind Bluesky is Jack Dorsey, best known as the founder and former CEO of Twitter. Dorsey announced the Bluesky project in 2019 and said that Bluesky will be a platform independent of Twitter and will be built on an open-source protocol. Dorsey stated that he aims to create more innovation and diversity in social media with Bluesky.
Bluesky is described as a decentralized social media platform. On this platform, users can create their own content, like, comment and share other people’s content. They can also join different communities on the platform or set up their own. Bluesky’s goal is to prevent censorship and manipulation on social media and to allow users to own their data.
Why are Bluesky invites so valuable?
The biggest obstacle faced by those who want to join the Bluesky platform is the invitation system. Bluesky is currently an invitation-only platform. In order to receive the invitation, a waiting list must be entered. However, this list is quite long and it may be necessary to wait for a long time to receive an invitation.
This led to Bluesky invitations becoming a medium of commerce, just as in Clubhouse times. Some users have started to sell their invitations to others. For example, advertisements selling Bluesky invitations can be seen on platforms such as Etsy. In these advertisements, invitation prices vary around $40. Some users prefer to trade or gift invitations.
It is not yet clear when the Bluesky platform will be fully operational. However, Jack Dorsey’s new platform is already attracting great attention and is creating a new trend in social media.
