Bluesky allows users to use domain names as handles to help achieve decentralized verification and give users more control over their identity.
Bluesky, a social media platform created by former Twitter Inc chairman Jack Dorsey, has been gaining traction even before it was officially launched. The official Bluesky Twitter account has more than 252k followers without a strong protocol to show it to users. However, the Bluesky app has been downloaded more than 245 thousand times by iPhone users according to data provided by Data.ai.
After Musk acquired Twitter late last year for $44 billion, Dorsey increased his focus on Bluesky which has since developed the AT Protocol, a social networking technology. The Bluesky started making headlines after hiring former Zcash blockchain developer and contributor Jay Graber as CEO. In addition, the social platform announced 30,000 waiting list signups in just two days.
Meanwhile, the social engineering protocol has been accepting invitations to the private beta and recently announced the launch of its own Android version.
Can Bluesky outsmart Twitter?
Designed as an alternative to Twitter, Bluesky is on a mission to disrupt the Musk-backed platform and win over Web3 fans. Twitter has more than 200 million daily active users that can be monetized. The platform recently eliminated the free blue verification flag for a monthly fee of around $8. The move significantly disrupted the global Twitter community, who had a hard time breaking up the fake and real accounts.
Moreover, media houses, journalists, artists, and other prominent personalities have relied heavily on Twitter’s free blue check mark to verify authenticity and authenticity. Without the blue check check, Twitter users are forced to blindly search for accounts that are public figures and hope it isn’t impersonation.
“I will continue to browse Twitter as far as I can as long as other people in the tech community are still using it, but I will have to take everything I read there with more salt than I did previously because I can’t easily verify that an account is a public figure or outlet. media is actually from that person or organization,” Anita Ramaswamy, technology and finance columnist for Reuters, male.
On the other hand, Bluesky has come up with a unique way of making sure that only verified accounts are run under high-profile names. Notably, Bluesky allows users to use domain names as handles to help achieve decentralized verification and give users more control over their identity.
Domain name indicators help you identify trusted accounts based on the website they are associated with. For example, the Financial Times, whose website is ft.com, can use the indicator “@ft.com” to verify itself as an official account,” Graber explained.
Interestingly, Bluesky allows users to keep the same domain address even after switching services.
