Bluesky is a decentralized social media platform developed by Bluesky Social, a public benefit corporation based in the United States. The platform was conceptualized in 2019 by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and officially launched in October 2023. Bluesky operates on the Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol, an open-source framework designed to enable interoperability among various social networks. This protocol allows users to maintain control over their data and customize their social media experience.

As of November 2024, Bluesky has amassed over 13 million registered users, with approximately 6.7 million active users. The platform offers features similar to traditional microblogging services, including short text posts, image sharing, and customizable feeds. Users can access Bluesky through its official website (https://bsky.app/) or via mobile applications available on iOS and Android devices. The platform emphasizes user autonomy by allowing individuals to choose their own algorithms and moderation policies, fostering a personalized and decentralized social media environment.
