Bluesky is the hot new internet hangout for the people who got a little tired of all the horrible stuff that’s been happening on Twitter/X over the past couple of years. And now it could end up forming the basis of a new Instagram competitor, for anybody that isn’t happy about Mark Zuckerberg and Meta’s sudden pivot to more right-wing politics.
Because Bluesky is built on an open protocol, it means just about anyone can create their own apps using the Bluesky social graph. And developer Sebastian Vogelsang is using that to build an app called Flashes — which will operate in a similar fashion to Instagram.
