THE Bluesky social network founded by Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter, seems to have a bright future.
If Jack Dorsey has not been the boss of Twitter, now X.com, for a long time, he nonetheless remains attached to the idea of a social network. And that’s why he’s been thinking in recent years about creating a new Twitter, but this time decentralized.
A reflection which gave birth to Bluesky, a functional social network, but which is currently only available by invitation. Which does not prevent it from seeing its number of users continue to grow.
Popularity still on the rise
Can a social network operate in a decentralized manner? Yes, if we look at the Mastodon experience. However, none of these platforms has managed to rise to the level of the biggest like X or Facebook. Bluesky could well be the first to succeed in the field.
Because the numbers are good on Jack Dorsey’s side. Two months ago, Bluesky announced that it had reached 1 million registrations. A number that has just doubled, since today the interface has 2 million subscribers, even though it is still private.
Bluesky will soon be visible to everyone
And the platform could soon begin to attract the attention of the general public. Currently, it is not possible for those who were unable to register to read messages posted on this network. A situation that will change, a public interface to arrive for Bluesky “ by the end of the month. »
What gives the start of a new success story? Bluesky indeed arrives at the right time, while the number of active users of X is declining. But at the same time, the (for the moment failed) experience of Threads is on everyone’s minds. Meta believed he could take advantage of Twitter’s bad reputation to steal its audience, which the social network absolutely did not do. What will happen to Bluesky?
