🌐 Beyond Bluesky: The Rise of Decentralized Social Apps
The AT Protocol (ATProto), the open foundation behind Bluesky, is becoming a launchpad for next-gen social apps.
Some standout innovations:
・Flashes: A photo/video-sharing platform reminiscent of classic Instagram
・Spark: A video-first app with livestreaming on the way
・Streamplace: Livestreaming built with cryptographic creator protections
・Graze: Build, customize, and monetize your own social feeds
This signals a shift toward user-owned, open social ecosystems—a strong contrast to walled-garden platforms. Developers, creators, and users alike are embracing interoperability, privacy, and creative freedom.
