Lapho sikhuluma ngegama elithi "amanethiwekhi omphakathi" Imikhiqizo efana ne-Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, phakathi kokunye, ifika ngokushesha emqondweni. Kepha Udaba lokwehliswa kwamandla ezikhundleni aluhlangene neze naleli gama Futhi ukuthi ukuxhumana nomphakathi njengoba sibazi namuhla babhekana nezinkinga eziningana ngoba ziphakathi nendawo.
Noma zikhona izixazululo wehlise ama- "dapps" adumile, lawa awaziwa kangako ngakho-ke ukusetshenziswa kwayo kuncike kakhulu ekuthandweni kwayo, injalo iMastodon okuyinethiwekhi yokuxhumana yamahhala ekhululekile futhi esetshenzisiwe efana ne-Twitter, lapho, uma sikhuluma iqiniso, bangaki abafundi bethu abayisebenzisa nsuku zonke? Bambalwa empeleni.
Ama-Dapps ayatholakala futhi alungisa amaphutha amaningi wamanethiwekhi aphakathi nendawo, lapho singabala eyodwa yazo okungukuthi babhekana nobunzima bokulwa nokuhlukunyezwa okuku-inthanethi, ukuqeda ukwaziswa okungaziwa noma ukwengamela okuqukethwe ngezinga elikhulu.
Kungakho ukuxazulula zonke lezi zinkinga, uJack Dorsey, Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Twitter Inc., isikhangiso ngoLwesithathu olwedlule ukuthi inkampani yakho izokwakha futhi ixhase iqembu lokucwaninga ozimele inhloso yayo kuzoba ukudala umthombo ovulekile nezinga elabelwe amandla okuxhumana nabantu.
Le phrojekthi ibizwa ngeBluesky futhi akekho osebenzayo ngakho okwamanje. Umqondisi wezobuchwepheshe ku-Twitter, uParag Agrawal, unesibopho yokuthola umphathi wephrojekthi ozokwakha iqembu labantu abangafika kwabangu-5.
Amalungu azophatha iphrojekthi yeBluesky kumele kube ngabakhi, onjiniyela kanye nabasunguli be-software yomthombo ovulekile. UDorsey uthe umsebenzi wakhe uzokwenziwa ngendlela esobala futhi ngeke ube ngowenkampani ezimele.
Umbono wukuthi iTwitter ekugcineni izosebenzisa inethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu. kunikezwe amandla ukuthi iBluesky izokwakha. Ngokusho kukaDorsey, ukusebenzisa ipulatifomu njengesisekelo sobuchwepheshe kuzovumela inethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu ukuthi ikwazi ukuncintisana ngokwengeziwe ngokukhulula izinsiza zemisebenzi enjengokwakha ama-algorithms wezincomo zokuqukethwe angcono.
UDorsey naye ukucacisile lokho iqembu elixhaswe nge-Twitter ngeke lisebenze lodwa:
"Siyathemba ukuthi leli thimba ngeke ligcine ngokwakha izinga elisezingeni lokuxhumana nabantu, kodwa futhi lizokwakha nomphakathi ovulekile nxazonke kubandakanya izinkampani, izinhlangano, abacwaningi, abaholi bezinhlangano zomphakathi nabo bonke labo abacabanga ngokujulile ngemiphumela, emihle nemibi".
IBluesky iqalisa ngesitatimende semishini sokuvelela. AbakwaTwitter bazonika leli qembu ithuba lokuthi lenze uhlelo oludluliselwe kwamanye amazwe yezinkundla zokuxhumanas kususelwa kubuchwepheshe obukhona noma, uma kungekho okulingana nomthethosivivinywa, kuzokwakha izingxenye kusukela ekuqaleni.
UDorsey ubuye wachaza ukuthi kanjani ubuchwepheshe i-blockchain inganikeza ngemodeli ukwabela phansi ukusingathwa kokuqukethwe, ukuqapha, ngisho nokwenza imali ngemithombo yezokuxhumana.
UDorsey ayizange ingene emininingwaneni eminingi mayelana nezici zobuchwepheshe wephrojekthi. Kepha ucezu lolwazi olusemqoka uDorsey abelane ngalo - uBluesky angakha izinga kubuchwepheshe obukhona - kuphakamisa amathuba athile.
Njengoba kunamanethiwekhi omphakathi asezingeni eliphansi futhi uhlelo olwaziwa kakhulu mhlawumbe yiMastodon, olususelwa kunqubo evulekile yomthombo wenethiwekhi ebizwa nge-ActivityPub.
Ngayo kungenzeka ukuthi iphrojekthi izosebenzisa i-ActivityPub, umthetho olandelwayo wokuxhumana nomphakathi ogcinwe yiWorld Wide Web Consortium esivele inika amandla izinsizakalo zenhlalo.
Elinye ithuba yilokho bluesky kungakhiwa ngohlobo oluthile lokusetshenziswa kwe-blockchain. UDorsey ubalule ubuchwepheshe be-blockchain kuma-tweets akhe mayelana nephrojekthi namhlanje kanjalo noParag Agrawal, isikhulu sezobuchwepheshe kwa-Twitter, obenikezwe umsebenzi wokuthola umholi weqembu leBluesky.
Yiprojekthi yokuvelela, futhi noma ngabe kufanelekile, kungathatha isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuthi sibone imiphumela.
Okwamanje, inkampani iqinisekisa ukulinganisela, ozinqumela yena ukuthi yikuphi okuqukethwe okungahle kungenzeki nokungavela kunethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu, konke lokhu kususelwa kwimithetho avumelane ngayo. Ngakho-ke, umsebenzi kaBluesky ungavumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bakhe amathuluzi wokuncoma amanye ama-algorithm aguqulelwe i-Twitter.
Amanye amanethiwekhi wokuxhumana nomphakathi: Diaspora, mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube, Pixelfed, njll.
Uma i-twitter ingena kulolu bishi, ingahle ilahlekelwe abasebenzisi abaningi ekuhlukaniseni amandla endawo.
