How the Open Social Web Will Change Everything, with Bluesky’s Jay Graber https://flipboard.video/videos/watch/b5693208-9708-4407-a284-9197e7940848 There’s a reason journalist and Bluesky board member Mike Masnick calls the platform “the most interesting experiment going in social media.” Originally launched as a project within Twitter in 2019, Bluesky has since become an independent company intent on making social more like the web. What does that mean, exactly, and why does it matter? Bluesky founder and CEO Jay Graber says social media is stagnating because “we're in this trap where users are locked in and developers are locked out.” It’s time to open things up again, she says, like in the innovative early days of the internet.

But you have a point too!
