Bluesky social media platform

Bluesky is a decentralized social media platform and a public benefit corporation. It originated from an internal project within Twitter in 2019, led by Jack Dorsey, with the mission of developing an open and decentralized standard for social media. In 2021, Bluesky transitioned into an independent entity, separating itself from Twitter's corporate structure before Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter.

The platform operates on the AT Protocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol), an open-source framework designed to allow users to move their data between different social providers. While its development team is primarily based in the United States, its decentralized nature means it is built to support a global network of servers and users. As a Public Benefit Corporation, its primary focus is on the development of technologies for open and decentralized public conversation.
