Bluesky News

Is Mark Zuckerberg sincere about promoting free speech on his platforms or is he trying to mend political fences with the incoming Trump administration?

The social media platform has roughly doubled its number of users since November, suggesting it may have pulled some US-based X users after the presidential election.

The decentralized microblogging platform has seen traffic and user numbers surge following the X expulsion from Brazil.

After backing and funding Bluesky when he was CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey has left the board of the social network.

Thousands of Twitter users were unable to view tweets, while Jack Dorsey’s decentralized social network, Bluesky, grabbed attention online.

The interface of Jack Dorsey’s decentralized Twitter alternative, Bluesky, resembles the look of Elon Musk’s social media platform.

The long-awaited “Bluesky Social” app is now accepting users for private beta and says it will “launch soon.”

Bluesky outlined that it is “not possible to have a usable social network without moderation,” and intends to build a moderation model for the network dubbed “speech and reach.”

The new lead plans on hiring for the Bluesky team and “partnering closely with Twitter and other companies” as part of the next steps towards fulfilling the decentralized social media plan.

Earlier this month, Dorsey revealed that Square intends to develop an open-source non-custodial Bitcoin hardware wallet.
