Twitter Is Helping To Build An Alternative To Twitter
Listers! If you have noticed or just been passing by, the biggest question for tech companies from the public is how much power can they wield when we all know that 'internet is a right'. Which company determines who to suspend, or ban? What is the threshold for that to happen? Does it mean many users have been breaching the terms and conditions? Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says his company is exploring the development of a decentralized standard for social media. He revealed the initiative, dubbed @bluesky. “We are trying to do our part by funding an initiative around an open decentralized standard for social media,” Dorsey said “Our goal is to be a client of that standard for the public conversation layer of the internet. We call it #bluesky.” Here is the entire thread https://twitter.com/jack/status/1349510769268850690?s=20 *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje * +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 Website: Khusoko <https://khusoko.com/> <https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-indeje/> <https://twitter.com/David_Indeje>
Interesting times, i guess the battle for the Social Media pie has just started as the big players try to balance between business and public good. It will be an interesting year. Best Regards On Thu, 14 Jan 2021, 8:34 am David Indeje via kictanet, < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Interesting conversation. What caught my attention is where Jack says *"**I feel a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us." * Again, does it mean many users have been breaching the terms and conditions?

Dorsey is moving fast to avoid extinction. The Internet was always meant to be decentralised until hyperscalers hacked that part and ultimately centralised parts of it in disguise. If the so called buesky is some sort of evolution from the current centralised design then the best approach would be to make it distributed so that no single monopoly or duopoly can invoke a #noflyzone over the digital bluesky.
