But... What is Bluesky? What is a handle?
- LatticeAnimal 3y agoJack Dorsey is creating distributed Twitter
- dgellow 3y agoNot Dorsey, it’s Jay Graber and the rest of the team. Dorsey created the team and is board member but doesn’t have control over the operation. Also, they aren’t creating distributed Twitter, AT protocol is the infrastructure for any social decentralized service we will want to create in the future. Bluesky is the first use case, but the team is building something way bigger than just the microblogging application. It’s worth checking ATP docs, they are quick to read and well made: https://atproto.com/guides/overview https://atproto.com/guides/overview
