Jack Dorsey’s Bluesky Social is a Twitter alternative in the works

Twitter’s flip-flops since Elon Musk bought it last year have been rather exhausting. The microblogging platform’s latest decision to give the blue tick, a badge of verification, to only those who pay for it (with some exceptions) has reportedly put impersonators in an overdrive and has many of its users looking for an alternative.

For years, in fact, there has been a search for a viable platform that would be an alternative to Twitter, one that would match its reach and popularity but come without Twitter’s problems.

The latest to present itself as the answer is “Bluesky Social”. Backed by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, it is said to have come closest to mimicking Twitter’s tone and feel.
