Bluesky
A Twitter reboot with a protocol
Bluesky is a microblogging app built on the AT Protocol, aiming to separate the social network from the company that runs it. The pitch: keep the fast, public chatter, lose the platform lock-in.
How it works
You pick a handle (even your own domain) and post short updates; servers can federate, and your identity can travel with you. Feeds are modular—anyone can build and follow custom algorithms instead of swallowing a single, opaque timeline.
Why it matters
Portability and open feeds challenge the hostage economics of legacy social media. Developers get room to experiment; users get more control over what they see—and where they host their account.
The catch
Network effects still crown the incumbents, and federation is a work in progress. Moderation tools exist but trust still clusters around Bluesky PBC, so “decentralized” is more trajectory than destination.
