Jay Graber: Blue Sky 致力于构建一个去中心化的社交网络,将权力交还给用户,并通过开放 API 促进创新和用户体验的多样化。Blue Sky 应用基于 AT 协议,允许开发者构建各种应用和服务,实现社交媒体体验的互联互通。Blue Sky 没有采用加密货币和区块链技术,而是专注于构建一个易于使用且可扩展的平台。Blue Sky 的内容审核遵循“言论自由,而非言论可及性”的原则,允许用户自定义内容过滤。Blue Sky 的目标是创建一个更民主、更开放的社交媒体环境。 Kevin Russo & Casey Newton: Blue Sky 是一个有前景的 Twitter 替代品,因为它在功能上回归了 Twitter 被收购前的状态,并且致力于去中心化。然而,他们对 Blue Sky 能否取代 Twitter 持怀疑态度,并认为 Blue Sky 和 Threads 的出现标志着社交媒体平台的“格式战争”开始。他们还讨论了去中心化社交网络的挑战,例如内容审核和用户体验等问题。
