At SXSW, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber sported a shirt reading 'Mundus sine Caesaribus', slyly referencing Mark Zuckerberg's self-comparison to Julius Caesar. The shirt's popularity on Bluesky led to replicas being sold to support the development of the platform. Unlike Meta, which has power centralized in founders, Bluesky promotes decentralization, enabling users to leave and create alternative applications if the platform direction changes. This embodies Graber's vision for an open-source social media future where executive control does not reign supreme.
Graber's shirt isn't just a petty swipe at a much larger competitor - it represents the ethos that Bluesky is trying to live up to.
There's already applications in the network that give you another way to view the network, or you could build a new one as well.
