As Elon Musk settles in as Twitter’s brand-new owner, Jack Dorsey is constructing a brand-new social media network.
The Twitter co-founder, who stepped down as CEO inNov 2021, and left the board of directors 6 months later on, has actually now turned his focus to a brand-new endeavor: Bluesky Social, a decentralized social media network procedure.
And according to Dorsey, Bluesky will not be taking on Twitter in the standard sense, as he kept in mind just recently that the app will rather be “a competitor to any company trying to own the underlying fundamentals for social media or the data of the people using it.”
The business just recently set out its vision for the platform sharing precisely what to get out of this most recent social media network.
“The World-Wide Web wouldn’t have been much fun if it had been created without a browser, and the same goes for the AT (Authenticated Transfer) protocol,” the business composed onTwitter on Oct. 18 “So we’re also building a social application called Bluesky.”
What does this suggest? Bluesky will permit social networks users to be in total control of their algorithms.
“Algorithms dictate what we see and who we can reach,” the Bluesky team wrote in a different tweet. “We must have control over our algorithms if we’re going to trust in our online spaces.”
But do not anticipate Bluesky to attempt to take onTwitter As Dorsey said in a Dec. 11 tweet, “The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard.”
