Twitter’s Co-founder Jack Dorsey is reportedly testing another social network App to compete with Twitter, now owned by Tesla Chief Elon Musk. Jack Dorsey announced that he is looking for beta testers for his decentralised social App Bluesky.
He tweeted that Bluesky intends to be a competitor to any company trying to own the underlying fundamentals for social media or the data of the people using it. In 2019, Twitter founded Bluesky as a way to develop a similar decentralized concept for the company.
The company said, “The next step is to start testing the protocol. Distributed protocol development is a tricky process. It requires coordination from many parties once a network is deployed, so we're going to start in private beta to iron out issues. As we beta test, we’ll continue to iterate on the protocol specs and share details about how it works. When it’s ready, we’ll move to the open beta, sharing a link to sign up for the beta test’s waitlist.”
Dorsey wrote, “The biggest and long-term goal is to build a durable and open protocol for public conversation. The word Bluesky evokes a wide-open space of possibility. It was the original name for this project before it took shape, and continues to be the name of our company. We’re calling the application we’re building Bluesky because it will be a portal to the world of possibility on top of the AT Protocol.”
