Bluesky, a decentralized social networking protocol developed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is experiencing rapid growth amidst controversies surrounding X’s recent policy changes. Focused on user privacy and control, Bluesky offers an open alternative to the platform formerly known as Twitter, attracting users who are dissatisfied with X’s direction. Led by CEO Jay Graber, Bluesky prioritizes transparency and community-driven moderation, while Jack Dorsey remains a key figure in the project, having initiated it during his tenure at Twitter. 2023 saw significant user growth for Bluesky, as highlighted in their recent report on post-user growth actions. Specifically, this rise is due to user satisfaction with privacy and control over platform management. This has seen an increase in moderation efforts by the platform.
