Bluesky CEO Jay Graber on breaking free from Twitter and competing with Threads and Mastodon
www.theverge.com
Bluesky started inside Twitter. Now, it’s competing with X, Mastodon, and Threads to push a decentralized vision for social networking.

Today, I’m talking to Jay Graber, the CEO of Bluesky Social, which is a decentralized competitor to Twitter, er, X. Bluesky actually started inside of what was then known as Twitter — it was a project from then-CEO Jack Dorsey, who spent his days wandering the earth and saying things like Twitter should be a protocol and not a company. Bluesky was supposed to be that protocol, but Jack spun it out of Twitter in 2021, just before Elon Musk bought the company and renamed it X.

    Not sure why this was downvoted. The business model of BlueSky is that they’re the indexer or whatever they want to call it. Technically it is federation but it’s a disingenuous implementation.

      i feel more afraid of bluesky than meta/threads. they are already pushing a very corporate-centric solution with a bolted on feature the fediverse if frothing for (portabability).
