BlogBluesky: An Open Social Web Feb 22, 2024 by The Bluesky Team. Bluesky is revolutionizing social media by allowing users to host their own data, giving them control and the ability to switch hosting providers without losing connections. This federated model mimics how the internet itself operates, promoting customization and independence. The goal is to create a self-sustaining social web that is not controlled by any single company, similar to the open web’s dynamic nature. Bluesky differentiates itself from other federated networks like Mastodon, focusing on a global conversation, composable moderation, feeds, and account portability. Joining Bluesky and self-hosting require some technical expertise, but the network is designed to be user-friendly and seamless.
