Twitter-like Bluesky is becoming popular among users

As influencers and celebrities fret over chaos at Twitter, a new platform called Bluesky is being hyped as a promising alternative.

Bluesky was created by Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey and is now the talk of Silicon Valley, leaving those in the know scrambling to secure an invite to join the app that is still at the testing phase.

The platform looks and feels like Twitter as its backers want users from the Elon Musk-owned site to feel at home, though posts on the app are referred to as “skeets”, not tweets.

The momentum gained for Bluesky last week as left-wing Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and fashion model Chrissy Teigen, who have millions of followers on Twitter, joined the platform.
