At SXSW 2025, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber made a bold statement with her attire, sporting a shirt that directly countered Mark Zuckerberg's messaging. While Zuckerberg aligns himself with figures of absolute power, Graber's shirt advocates for a decentralized social media future devoid of such dominance. Bluesky’s open-source framework allows users to have transparency and control over their experience, contrasting sharply with the practices of platforms like Meta. Graber emphasized that users can easily shift to alternative applications if needed, reinforcing the concept of decentralized ownership.
If a billionaire came in and bought Bluesky, or took it over, or if I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people really didn't like, then they could fork off and go on to another application.
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. And so that openness guarantees that there's always the ability to move to a new alternative.
