A new app created by Twitter\u2019s co-founder and ex-CEO as an alternative to the Elon Musk-owned platform has just launched a version for Android users.<\/p>\n
Bluesky, created by Jack Dorsey, promises a future-thinking \u201csocial internet\u201d that allows users more choices and frees people from platforms, according to its website.<\/p>\n
The app, however, is still in development and only available to access through an invite code.<\/p>\n
Dorsey began working on Bluesky as a side project in 2019 with funding from Twitter, and it was first rolled out to iOS users in late February.<\/p>\n
Many users have said Bluesky\u2019s current beta version is similar to a pared-down copy of Twitter, according to Tech Crunch.<\/p>\n
Demand for the exclusive app has been growing, and the platform reportedly has about 20,000 users in its current form, the technology outlet reported.<\/p>\n
Moving forward, the app developers hope to give users \u201calgorithmic choice,\u201d which would allow them to choose how content is fed onto their screens, instead of a one-fits-all algorithm controlled by the app developers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
