Description
Bluesky is an initiative to develop a decentralized social network protocol, and an associated social networking service.
Originally spun out by Twitter, Inc., it hired its first employees in 2021, and was incorporated as an independent public benefit company the same year. Jay Graber currently serves as the company's CEO, while Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sits on its board of directors.
It currently operates its own social network, Bluesky Social, which is accessible via a web browser or an app for iOS and Android. The service is currently in an invite-only beta, though the company has specified plans to open it up to the general public at a later date. The service is described as being "Twitter-like".
