Bluesky, Jack Dorsey’s Twitter alternative now available on the App Store on an invite-only basis

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey released Bluesky on Tuesday, a Twitter alternative to the Apple App Store. Similar to Twitter, the app includes a home timeline of posts from people you follow, a discovery tab, and a feed of recently posted Bluesky updates. Posts can be commented on, liked, and reported. It is an invite-only social network, according to reports.

From the timeline to the profile pages, the app is very similar to Twitter. According to reports, Mr. Dorsey has been working on an app powered by its open-source social protocol, the Authenticated Transfer Protocol, or “AT Protocol”, for months. The app, which is supported by Mr. Dorsey, describes itself as a “federated social network” in which separate networks exist within a single hub.

The app is built around four principles: account portability, algorithmic performance, performance, and interoperability. The app was released on February 17, 2023. The app is not yet on any top charts in the United States, and it is not available on Google Play. Beginning in 2019, the app was created within Twitter.


According to reports Jack Dorsey explained to Elon Musk via text that a new platform was required now. It can not be a corporation. That is why he left. Dorsey quit as Twitter's CEO in November 2021, but he stayed on the company's board of directors until May 2022.

Another report suggests that this framework is supposed to allow you to easily transfer your account data to another Bluesky provider as well as give you more control over what you see on a network.

The website provides no information about when the app might be made available to the general public. Bluesky got $13 million last year so that it could start working on R&D without being told what to do.
