The update also brings some much needed inbox-management tools to Bluesky DMs, with the addition of a new \u201crequests\u201d section for incoming messages from users you don\u2019t know. You\u2019ll also now be able to reject incoming chats, which should help reduce the number of <\/a> that have been flooding many users\u2019 inboxes in recent weeks.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The latest Bluesky update rolled out as CEO Jay Graber appeared onstage at SXSW for a keynote about the growing decentralized social media platform, which has just under 33 million users. Graber, who was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a Latin slogan \u201cmundus sine caesaribus\u201d (a world without Caesars) \u2014 an apparent play on Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s affinity for Roman Empire-inspired <\/a> \u2014 spoke about why Bluesky is \u201cbillionaire-proof\u201d compared with other apps.<\/p>\n \u201cIf a billionaire came in and bought Bluesky or took it over, or I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people really didn't like, then they could fork off and go on to another application,\u201d she said. \u201cThat openness guarantees that there's always the ability to move to a new alternative, still using the same network. There's much less tolerance in the ecosystem for a very heavy-handed change.\u201d<\/p>\n She also opened up about how Bluesky is thinking about its business model and generative AI. On the business side, she <\/a> said the company is \u201cexploring subscriptions\u201d as well as paid \u201cdeveloper services\u201d for those who build experiences on top of Bluesky. In a similar vein, she also said the company was considering how it could eventually turn some of its features, like moderation services or custom feeds, into a \u201cmarketplace\u201d where the company may get a cut of potential transactions.<\/p>\n When it comes to large language models, she said the company was \u201cworking with some partners on developing a framework for user consent, for how they want their data to be used for generative AI.\u201d<\/p>\n
