What is Bluesky, when was it launched?
Bluesky started out back in 2019 as a project within Twitter, led by then-CEO Jack Dorsey. It has been described as a “decentralized, open-source microblogging social media platform similar to X (formerly Twitter),” and after launching on the Apple App Store in February 2023, it opened to the public in February 2024
A year ago Bluesky took to X and wrote: “Happy first birthday to Bluesky!
“We launched the app publicly on Feb 6, 2024. With every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear, and we're excited to be building it alongside 30M+ of you.”
Bluesky users have taken to X to voice their concerns about it being down and one wrote: “Are there problems with your app? Because I can’t see my profile.”
Another person wrote in response: "Can't log into the app like nothing is showing so probably.”
Jack Dorsey left the board of Bluesky in 2024 and in an interview with Pirate Wires, he said: “But what happened is, people started seeing Bluesky as something to run to, away from Twitter. It's the thing that's not Twitter, and therefore it's great. And Bluesky saw this exodus of people from Twitter show up, and it was a very, very common crowd.”
