    Jack Dorsey’s New App ‘Blue Sky’ Launches On Android

    Co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, has launched a new application called ‘Blue Sky’ on Android, a few hours after losing his verification badge on the microblogging platform.

    According to him, the new application will serve as an alternative to Twitter which is now owned by Elon Musk.

    The “social internet” of the future will give users more options and creators “independence from platforms”, an excerpt from the app’s website read.

    However, the app is still under development and may only be accessed with an invite code.

    “We’re building the AT Protocol, a new foundation for social networking which gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience,” the website added.

    As per TechCrunch, the basic features for monitoring likes or bookmarks, modifying tweets, quote-tweeting, direct messages and using hashtags, which are available on Twitter are not present in Bluesky at launch.

    This will make the app a more streamlined version of Twitter than what it initially appeared to be.

    Additionally, it’s incorporating decentralization into its own protocol, the AT Protocol, rather than adding to the work already done on ActivityPub, the protocol powering Mastodon, an open-source Twitter alternative and a variety of other decentralized apps in the larger “Fediverse”, the term for these connected servers hosting free, open-source web publishing software, as per the outlet.

    The demand for the application has been growing and has 20,000 active users currently.
