This is the best summary I could come up with:


Funded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Bluesky is one of the more promising micro-blogging platforms that could provide an alternative to Elon Musk’s X.

The company began as a project inside of Twitter that sought to build a decentralized infrastructure called the AT Protocol for social networking.

“What decentralization gets you is the ability to try multiple things in parallel, and so you’re not bottlenecking change on one organization,” Bluesky CEO Jay Graber told TechCrunch.

This all sounds great, but of course, the question will inevitably arise: what if a bad actor creates a moderation service or a server that has tangibly harmful consequences?

This is more of a hands-off approach, which also relies on users to take advantage of Bluesky’s customizable moderation tools to determine what online safety means to them.

Graber couldn’t have possibly anticipated that plot twist, but a year before the acquisition, she just so happened to spin Bluesky out from Twitter and into its own public benefit corporation.
