Bluesky, a social network championed by Jack Dorsey, opens for anyone to sign up

Bluesky, a Twitter-like social network championed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has emerged from its cocoon and is now allowing anyone to create an account and join the service.

Bluesky resembles Twitter — now known as X after Tesla billionaire Elon Musk paid $44 billion for the company — in many respects, although it doesn’t yet offer direct messaging between users. It does offer more customization options, though whether these will appeal to users isn't yet clear.
