Jack Dorsey, who founded Twitter in 2006 so that people can share the places they visit and inspire each other, was not even aware of the power he had at the time. Twitter, which has transformed from a platform that inspires users over time, to a platform where users can freely share their thoughts, talk about politics and take the pulse of the whole world, was recently acquired by Tesla founder Elon Musk.
The founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, announced that he will transform Skyblue, which he founded as a sister company to Twitter in 2019, into a new social media platform. So what is this Bluesky?
It will be a decentralized social media platform
Dorsey announced in a statement that he will establish a “public and decentralized” social media platform and that the company will only take part in the installation phase. Bluesky, which will be created in a blockchain-like structure, is intended to be created in a way that will not be restricted by companies and governments.
At this point, although the founder of Twitter states that he does not see his new platform as a competitor to Twitter and that he “believes with all his heart” in Elon Musk’s plans, many social media experts think that Dorsey secretly wants to adapt Musk’s plans to his own platform.
Making a statement after leaving Twitter, Dorsey argued that humanity needs a new social media and that this platform should not have an advertising system. It looks like Dorsey will achieve all of this on his new platform.
Although Dorsey has not made a detailed statement about Bluesky at this time, he stated that users can sign up for beta tests. You can put your name on the waiting list for the beta testing of Bluesky using the link found here. You will be notified by e-mail when the beta testing process starts.
