Bluesky: Jack Dorsey Launches Twitter Alternative by ijustdey: 4:03pm On Apr 22, 2023
A new app created by Twitter’s co-founder and ex-CEO as an alternative to the Elon Musk-owned platform has just launched a version for Android users.

Bluesky, created by Jack Dorsey, promises a future-thinking “social internet” that allows users more choices and frees people from platforms, according to its website.

The app, however, is still in development and only available to access through an invite code.

Dorsey began working on Bluesky as a side project in 2019 with funding from Twitter, and it was first rolled out to iOS users in late February.

Many users have said Bluesky’s current beta version is similar to a pared-down copy of Twitter, according to Tech Crunch.

Demand for the exclusive app has been growing, and the platform reportedly has about 20,000 users in its current form, the technology outlet reported.

Moving forward, the app developers hope to give users “algorithmic choice,” which would allow them to choose how content is fed onto their screens, instead of a one-fits-all algorithm controlled by the app developers.

It's one thing to launch an app, it's another thing to divert Twitter users to it.

If BBC moves to BlueSky and their former Twitter followers switch to CNN on Twitter then you are wasting your time. You lose customer + you strengthen your competition.

The customers control the market not the corporations.

DOA!

Mr. Jack Dorsey, go and create something different, something new! You have the money and the brains. Not in this world or that to come will you rival an established brand as twitter if you are offering exactly the same services they are offering. You of all people should know.

It's just like waking up from the left side of your bed and deciding to produce another youtube. How do you want to succeed?

Twitter is a conversational social media platform where users are eager to interact with the information they enjoy and not just reshare it but also add their opinions to it. And interact with individuals directly be-you-anybody.




People Learn Niche Skills
Showcase Talents
Establish Professional Authority

And most of all, you get information pure as they're all around the world immediately.

You remember The end sars?
Twitter blew it to the whole world.

People have been able to communicate directly with the presidencies, and great men around world directly on twitter with active responses.

You can go DM Putin if you like or even Xi. I won't tweet nor DM Bubu o

Twitter has stood the test of time in terms of the social media hierarchy



Hence, it's worth over $40B

How do they say it again? He wants to play him "handicap" grin
But surely, at that level, clauses must be there to stop dorsy setting up something similar to Twitter for a while.

RIP twitter as Elon Musk has been bought over by the corrupt systems controlled by criminals such as the senile greedy corrupt drug pusher from Conakry.

Re: Bluesky: Jack Dorsey Launches Twitter Alternative by Corn247: 4:21pm On Apr 22, 2023
I've thought of something like this.. Soo many people online now with provocative and dangerous opinions... there should be an app where you will only see posts by reasonable vendors or trends you followed.

He was merely a shareholder at Twitter with less than 5% of the shares so he is free to do what he wants. He has been working on this since, it's no secret
