It was built to provide greater autonomy to users by enabling them to choose how their feed works and how content is moderated. Unlike other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techmagazines.net\/how-to-use-instagram-to-share-with-other-social-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">social networks<\/a> that are dependent on proprietary algorithms, Bluesky works on an open protocol which allows various applications to work synchronously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_and_Background\"><\/span><strong>History and Background<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/12\/11\/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-announces-bluesky-social-media-standards-push.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2019<\/a>, former Twitter CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Jack-Dorsey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jack Dorsey<\/a> came up with the idea of Bluesky as a research project to create a Decentralized Social Media Internet. The aim was to facilitate for the users to have more control over their online interaction and data. By 2021, Bluesky grew to become an independent company from Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform went viral after being released as an invite-only service in February 2023. The need for the service is on the rise, therefore it opened public registrations in February 2024. By that time Bluesky had 20 million users by November 2024, and around 30 million users by January 2025. Bluesky\u2019s rapid growth has made it a strong base against the incumbents of the social media giants, like X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Features_of_Bluesky\"><\/span><strong>Key Features of Bluesky<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfycWMybTIeHIGilk1oEzlQMr78gtlSQLj_WHJZp0jOb_8sgtMOqgx9307l4uHBThICpIBvqcNGVbAZc5ivcr4QBmu4-FKcExmfm07SheWzCGEWtcHsjFyJ11VXb7JT25bahDByXtwbtVtY2KsyEOQ?key=mQCt_WvmBEmsv74NCmK5iui-\" alt=\"Key Features of Bluesky\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Img Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceotodaymagazine.com\/2024\/11\/bluesky-the-new-social-media-platform-tops-20-million-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Bluesky<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bluesky offers several innovative features that let users be empowered and give them a unique social media experience, which sets it apart from other social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Decentralized_and_Open-Source_Protocol\"><\/span><strong>1.

Bluesky is different from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/?lang=en\">X<\/a>, which controls its recommendation algorithm, while Bluesky is a \u201cmarketplace of algorithms\u201d that allows users to choose what kind of algorithms would rank and display content in their feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Domain_Name-Based_Handles\"><\/span><strong>3.
