      It’s the fediverse Lite (doesn’t work with ActivityPub, it’s its own protocol). It’s also Twitter Lite (created by the founder of Twitter, now known as X). It’s the worst of both worlds.

      Bluesky started out being owned by Twitter (pre Musk), but became a completely separate company (also pre Musk). Somewhat like Mastadon, it is intended to be decentralized. It’s still in beta, so it’s not freely open to the public yet - you have to get an invitation from someone who already uses it.

      How do they plan to make money? “We’ll be publishing a blog post on our monetization plans in a few weeks, and we’ll share more then” according to Emily Liu, part of the Bluesky team.
