Twitter’s decentralized social network project takes a baby step forward

Bluesky, Twitter’s attempt at designing a unified decentralized social media standard, has released an overview of existing projects.

It includes ActivityPub, known for powering the social network Mastodon; the messaging standard XMPP, which powers WhatsApp and the now-defunct Google Talk; and Solid, a decentralization project led by World Wide Web creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
