Bluesky, a decentralized clone of Twitter, has a surge of interest and sign-ups from users disgruntled with the ownership of Elon Musk.
Bluesky has attracted several internet celebrities as an alternative to Twitter, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Twitter comedian Dril, and model Chrissy Teigen. The platform has been presented as Twitter 2.0 after Musk angered advertisers, changed the platform's verification policies, and adjusted its algorithm significantly.Bluesky only has around 40,000 users, but more than 360,000 users have downloaded the iPhone app since its February launch, according to Data.ai.
This means that users have access to the software's code and are able to make smaller communities and apps like Mastodon, another Twitter competitor. The goal of decentralizing the platform"is to provide choice to users, freedom to developers, and control to creators," Bluesky CEO Jay Graber said in a blog post last month.
