Bluesky, a decentralized social networking service separate from Twitter, is now open for public registration. No longer requiring invitations, anyone can create an account. To sign up, users can visit the Bluesky website, enter their email, and verify their account with an OTP code sent through SMS. Upon successful registration, users will receive a username in the format of username.bsky.social. Bluesky is accessible through web browsers, as well as iOS and Android apps.
In terms of appearance, Bluesky doesn’t differ much from Twitter. However, the key distinction lies in its utilization of a new protocol called AT Protocol, which operates on a decentralized server architecture. This sets it apart from ActivityPub, the protocol used by social networks like Mastodon and Fediverse. One notable feature of the AT Protocol is the ability for users to customize their feeds based on their interests. For instance, they can choose to only see posts from game developers or posts related to scientific research. Users also have the capability to share algorithms from their feeds.
TLDR: Bluesky, a decentralized social networking service, is now open for public registration without the need for invitations. It operates on the AT Protocol, allowing users to customize their feeds based on their interests. Users can also share feed algorithms with others.
