How to Find Twitter Friends on Bluesky: Guide For Using Sky Follower Bridge Method

About Bluesky

Bluesky is an initiative to develop a decentralized social network protocol, and an associated social networking service. Originally spun out by Twitter/X, Inc., it hired its first employees in 2021, and was incorporated as an independent public benefit company the same year. 

Dorsey introduced the Bluesky project back in 2019 while he was still Twitter CEO. At the time, according to Techcrunch, Dorsey said Twitter/X would be funding a “small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers,” charged with building a decentralized standard for social media, with the original goal that Twitter would adopt this standard itself. 

However, that was before Elon Musk took over the platform in 2022, and the rest is history.
