Bluesky, the Jack Dorsey-backed Twitter alternative, is getting its first third-party app for both iOS and Android users: a new app called Graysky.

From the article ‘Rather, explains Newman, Bluesky was appealing because it’s simply a better Twitter.’
Can someone explain this to me? The article does not. It all seems like garbage to me, vanilla swirl maybe instead of straight vanilla, but still tastes like crap. This release is specifically not decentralized.
Dorsey is a shitbag, always has been, why is this better?
It’s still big tech
The protocol (AT Protocol) is what’s decentralised, which is separate(ish) to BlueSky the social network.
are there any other instances using AT protocol?
A fair few, but as it’s still being developed there’s not many stable uses. You can check some of them out here:

At least for normal non-tech oriented people it is a Twitter without Elon Musk. Which I suppose is an improvement despite it still being Jack Dorsey.
I think it will be important to see how it is potentially monetized. If they can find some way to stay alive without going down the enshitification rabbit hole with ads and prioritized posts with paid subscriptions like Twitter then that would also be an improvement in my opinion.
