Bluesky, a decentralized social networking protocol developed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is gaining popularity amidst changes in X's policies, emphasizing privacy and user control.
Bluesky and Privacy Growth
Bluesky is designed as a decentralized social networking protocol and app, serving as an open substitute to X (formerly Twitter). It centers on privacy, user control, and transparent moderation. Growth has increased following policy shifts at X.
User-Driven Moderation Attracts Developers
Community discussions emphasize privacy and user-driven moderation, drawing users from X over policy dissatisfaction. Users are not incentivized by financial factors, as Bluesky lacks a native token or blockchain integrations.
Decentralized Networks Amid X Controversies
Past platforms like Mastodon have seen similar adoption spikes during X controversies, yet had no proprietary tokens. Bluesky's growth has not affected major crypto assets like ETH or BTC, supporting Dorsey's argument that decentralized networks give control back to users.
Bluesky's development amidst X's controversies underscores the importance of privacy protection and user control on modern digital platforms.
