Bluesky founder and CEO Jay Graber says social media is stagnating because "we're in this trap where users are locked in and developers are locked out." She talked to Flipboard's Mike McCue for the Dot Social podcast about building a healthier internet, how Elon impacted Bluesky's trajectory, innovating on social identity, and how different protocols can come together. #bluesky #fediverse

Just read the transcript of @mike 's #DotSocial podcast with @jay.bsky.team .

They cover a lot of interesting use cases -- many of them dear to my heart since (embarrassingly) approx 2004:

A single identity for me on the web. Which I control and can self-host or move to different hosts. From where I can engage the world and the world can engage with me. No walled gardens. Lots of new use cases.

It's a bit harder than they make it out to be. But I obviously agree with the vision.

Surprisingly, though, not one question about the #Bluesky business model, which in many ways is the big elephant question in the room.
