The new Bitchat messaging app, recently launched by Jack Dorsey, can be used offline. According to the creator of Bluesky and co-founder of Twitter, it’s a Bluetooth mesh network service that doesn’t use servers, accounts, or data collection.

Currently, Bitchat is being tested by a group of 10,000 users. The creator himself indicated on X that it’s an experiment, whose beta version is available on TestFlight. He added that the app “provides ephemeral, encrypted communication without relying on internet infrastructure, making it resilient to network outages and censorship.”

Dorsey emphasized key aspects related to messages, which are stored only on devices and disappear by default; it also allows public chatting “or access to rooms that can be password-protected.”

The migration of thousands of users from X has led the social network Bluesky to update the authentication rules of original accounts and thus avoid identity theft and provide protection before parody accounts, satire accounts and fan accounts.

The migration from the old Twitter began a few weeks ago, so Bluesky, created by Jack Dorsey, has decided to deepen the protection measures against many “people who try to register fake accounts on the platform.”

In this sense, the update will be more aggressive. Accounts that engage in impersonation and user name occupation will be deleted. Measures will also be applied so that users of the platform can configure their name appropriately.

Regarding parody or satire accounts and fan accounts, Bluesky has indicated that they must be clearly labeled, otherwise they could be deleted once the moderators apply the “impersonation” label to them.

The team responsible for Bluesky wants this decentralized social network to be profitable and for this they plan to incorporate a series of payment services, starting with the acquisition of personalized domains.

Bluesky is an open and decentralized social network project that seeks to grow and sustain its growth while being profitable. They have taken the first step by obtaining an initial round of financing of 8 million dollars, which has made it possible to expand the team, organize the operating and infrastructure costs, and grow the ecosystem with the AT protocol.

They also have commercial plans, which they will develop with a different strategy than usual in other similar platforms, which depend on advertising. Instead, they have opted for a type of monetization that does not involve selling user data, starting with custom domains.

“Domains have a lot of potential as a way to personalize identities and as a decentralized way to verify the reputation that is built from the existing web,” they explain from Bluesky on the official blog.

The service is offered in conjunction with Namecheap, so users can purchase and set up a custom domain as their Bluesky identifier and the AT Protocol. The platform also offers additional layers of privacy protection.

This is the first paid service they have announced since Bluesky, but they are “exploring” others that can be bundled for users.

Bluesky has launched a new feature of ‘feeds’ created with custom algorithms or “custom sources”, which allows users to subscribe to one of them to receive a specific type of posts or content thanks to the custom algorithm, in a similar way to the Twitter lists.

The social network founded by the former CEO and co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, continues to implement features based on the open and decentralized standard characteristic of the platform. In this case, with the implementation of ‘feeds’ that act in a similar way to Twitter lists, showing content on specific topics of interest to the user or only the publications of certain selected profiles.

In this sense, Bluesky has launched “custom sources”, a feature that is based on ‘feeds’ that show different content from the one that appears on the main page of the ‘app’ and that, unlike Twitter lists, use algorithms custom files configured by the user who creates them.

Specifically, as detailed by The Verge, who has had access to the Bluesky closed beta and has been able to explore this new function, this feature allows users to create and subscribe to different ‘feeds’. They show specific content on specific issues or specific profiles, for example, posts about music, photos of cats or posts from accounts of relevant personalities.

The ‘feeds’ or personalized sources are anchored at the top of the main page of the platform and, in this way, users can quickly choose between one ‘feed’ or another to see different topics. In addition, the user can choose ‘feeds’ already created to anchor in their main tab from a new menu ‘My sources’, located in the sidebar of the application.

In the ‘My sources’ menu, you can find default ‘feeds’ such as ‘What’s Hot’ for content that is trending at any given time; ‘Bluesky Team’ which, as its name suggests, collects publications from Bluesky team members; and ‘Popular with friends’, which is based on a combination of relevant content from the accounts that are followed by the user and content that the profile’s followers like.

Similarly, ‘My sources’ also has an option to discover new feeds created by other users that may be of interest. In this way, thanks to the personalized algorithm of the ‘feeds’, Bluesky allows users greater control of the content they want to see. At the moment, this feature is available in the latest closed beta version of the mobile apps and in the Bluesky web client.

In the midst of changes and controversies that haunt the social network Twitter, directed by Elon Musk, Internet users are anxiously awaiting the official launch of the alternative created by Jack Dorsey, called Bluesky.

The platform is in trial period for a selected group of users, accessed only by invitation. And there is a waiting list of more than a million potential customers.

In this regard, Forbes magazine and the Bloomberg News agency indicated on Tuesday they gave some details about how Bluesky is evolving, whose release date has not yet been revealed.

Dorsey has been working at Bluesky since 2019, when it was announced as “a project organized by Twitter to develop a decentralized protocol, under the premise of allowing users to have full control of their online identity, their account and their followers and to be able to transfer all of this to other platforms.”

According to Bloomberg, Dorsey’s project already has 245,000 downloads by iPhone users, with half of those downloads in April alone. Additionally, it has reported that the social network recently “launched a version of its application for Android, which according to media outlets that have seen it, is very similar in its presentation and operation to Twitter.”

Twitter will have to pay a fine of 150 million dollars to resolve a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the US Department of Justice for having provided private data of its users to advertisers of the social network.

These two institutions accused the social network of having collected information from its users, such as phone numbers and email addresses, and allowing advertisers to use it to monetize their services.

“Twitter requested personal information from users for the express purpose of protecting their accounts, but also used it later to serve targeted ads for financial gain,” read a statement released by the FTC.

The origin of this complaint dates back to 2010, when the FTC filed a lawsuit against Twitter for not guaranteeing users the privacy of their data.

So, the company promised its users that only they could control who had access to their posts and that only the final recipients of the private messages could access the information transmitted through this medium.

However, Twitter did not have the power to guarantee compliance with this privacy, since the FTC exposed a series of cases in which the social network had accessed the personal information of users without their consent.

To solve this problem, the social network agreed to comply with an order imposed by this commission, which became official in 2011, in which it was determined that the FTC would impose substantial financial fines if it again manipulated the measures intended to protect the security of the users.

The co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, publicly supported Elon Musk through this social network, where he defended that the billionaire “is the only solution” that he trusts and that he is following “the right path” with the purchase of the company for 41,000 million dollars.

“Elon’s goal of creating a platform that is highly trustworthy and broadly inclusive is the right one,” commented the former director, indicating that for those same values ​​he appointed Parag Agarwal as CEO after his departure in November last year.

Along with this message, the co-founder shared a Radiohead song titled “Everything In Its Right Place” that suggests that he is happy with this purchase by the also owner of Tesla.

With this, he highlighted what he believes to be the greatest virtue of this social network, assuring that he “loves it”. “It’s the closest thing we have to a global consciousness“.

On the other hand, Dorsey showed his commitment to maintaining “the idea and the service” of the social network, ensuring that it is now his main concern. “It’s the only thing that matters to me and I will do whatever it takes to protect both of us,” he added.

“Twitter as a company has always been my only problem and my greatest regret. It has been owned by Wall Street and the advertising model. Recovering it from Wall Street is the first correct step,” he said, in support of the movement made by Musk.
