Bluesky CEO Jay Graber on the need for social to recapture the open web’s spirit at StrictlyVC SF

Bluesky’s rapid growth in the past few weeks has put a ton of eyeballs on the social platform, but as its CEO Jay Graber told us at the most recent StrictlyVC event, their goal is not just to recreate Twitter.

Throughout her conversation with TechCrunch reporter Maxwell Zeff, Graber highlighted her belief that “people need to be able to control the social networks they communicate on,” regardless of whether that continues to be Bluesky or another federated social platform.
