He should call it Twitter now that the name is available again. Wouldn't that be hilarious if he just made Twitter all over again and everyone on X went back to Twitter?

I know that won't happen but it would be super funny to see how Elon reacts to it.

But if the rat stops using the Twitter trademark he's gonna lose it, right?

No musk when purchased twitter, the trademark was part of it , he can hold on to it as long as they want !

It's the fediverse Lite (doesn't work with ActivityPub, it's its own protocol). It's also Twitter Lite (created by the founder of Twitter, now known as X). It's the worst of both worlds.

A worse version of ActivityPub

Bluesky started out being owned by Twitter (pre Musk), but became a completely separate company (also pre Musk). Somewhat like Mastadon, it is intended to be decentralized. It’s still in beta, so it’s not freely open to the public yet - you have to get an invitation from someone who already uses it.

How do they plan to make money? “We’ll be publishing a blog post on our monetization plans in a few weeks, and we’ll share more then” according to Emily Liu, part of the Bluesky team.
