Jack Dorsey's Bluesky Surpasses 2 Million Users After a Year

When Jack Dorsey left the then Twitter, he did not stop his development of creating a blockchain-based platform that would offer a decentralized experience to the world, and on November 16, 2022, Bluesky was born and opened its doors. Despite the app being an invite-only for those interested to join, it grew into a massive one which now sees 2 million users after a year.

As per the platform's latest blog post, amidst this plan to expand more of Bluesky comes its federation this year, with the company working towards liberating the experience from the reliance on a single platform. 

One of the goals claimed by Bluesky's team centers on developing it to be a "billionaire-proof" platform that will give users the liberty of staying or leaving it.
