Bluesky is provided as a reference implementation of the decentralized SNS protocol `` AT Protocol '', which is currently being researched and developed with the aim of ``building an ecosystem that allows users to migrate to another SNS while retaining posted content, follow/follower information, etc.'' This is an SNS.

In addition to the ability to post text and images, Bluesky also has a function that allows you to list and repost other people's posts, and since its functions and appearance are similar to X (former Twitter), It has attracted a lot of attention from users considering switching . However, since Bluesky has been an invitation-only service for a long time since its launch in October 2022, many people have been observed saying, ``I wanted to create a Bluesky account, but I gave up because I didn't have an invitation code.''
