We’re building social where:
• users own their data
• developers will never get locked out of the ecosystems they help build
• creators own their relationships with their audience
What is a protocol? How does decentralization work? And can you talk to me in non-tech speak? You asked and we answered: https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/6-13-2023-what-is-bluesky
If you don’t read paragraphs and only consume content in post form. I’ve summarized below:
(1/5) Digital lives are fragmented across multiple platforms & when you move from one platform to another, you have to start over w/ no followers or content. It’s like moving cities without being able to move your stuff or being able to keep in touch with your friends.
(2/5) Bluesky wants to rebuild social so that: – Users own their data and can take it anywhere they want to go. – Developers will never get locked out of the ecosystems they help build. – Creators will always own their relationships with their audience.
(3/5) To achieve our goal, we designed a new approach to storing & retrieving info across multiple servers, even the ones not run by us. We want to make social media work more like the open systems of the early web, like blogging and email.
(4/5) Using the analogy of cities, centralized platforms are like one big city that everyone lives in. Decentralized platforms are like a network of cities & the protocol that Bluesky is built on gives you a passport to travel freely across cities with your belongings and friends.
(5/5) We want y’all to build other cities and help us build the tunnels, roads, and bridges to connect our cities. We believe that the future of social media is co-created and open. Join us!
