Bluesky, a social network launched in February 2023, is now open to the public with over 4 million users. CEO Jay Graber aims to combine the ease of Twitter and Threads with the customizability of Mastodon. Despite outages, Bluesky gained nearly 800K new users in its first day open to the public. In contrast, Farcaster, a decentralized social network, has seen 10x growth in DAU over the past 14 days and is trying to reach mass adoption through Web 2.0 techniques. It aims to attract non-web3 users and is gaining popularity among crypto enthusiasts. The co-founder thinks the best way to get more users quickly is to make onboarding as web2 as possible. Farcaster is described as the first scalable decentralized social protocol that feels like Twitter and is attracting a significant number of new users. The decentralized social network has the potential to bridge the gap between the reach of Twitter/X and the meaningful interactions of Discord. It empowers users with data ownership while providing a familiar web2 feel. The network is gaining traction and has the potential to transform the social media scene.
