"If you haven’t been watching closely, you could be forgiven for assuming that
Bluesky is a just liberal Twitter clone, or a newfangled imitator of Mastodon.
But under the surface, something fascinating has been happening: this is the
first time ever that a public benefit corporation with a small team has quickly
scaled an open source social network, built on top of decentralized
infrastructure, to tens of millions of users. For us at /New_ Public/, nothing
illustrates the potential of this model better than Blacksky, created by Rudy
Fraser and his team.
Below, Rudy will take you through what Blacksky is, how it works, and why this
is so important. In order to bring digital public spaces to everyone, we need
it to be a lot easier to create far more communities like Blacksky. Bluesky and
its AT Protocol are not a panacea or silver bullet for everything that ails
social media — but we think there’s so much more to be learned, tried, and
built this way."
