Bluesky
Definition
A decentralized social media platform and microblogging service, launched as an alternative to Twitter (now X), emphasizing user-controlled federation and ad-free feeds.
Blue-sky thinking (also stylized as one word in tech contexts): Imaginative, unconstrained brainstorming without practical limitations, often leading to wildly innovative—or hilariously impractical—ideas.
Examples
