JAKARTA - Twitter's alternative social network, Bluesky, plans to create an algorithmic market that benefits users. Users will be able to control how filtered content is sorted on the platform.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber in his blog post explained that he aims to replace conventional master algorithms, which are controlled by one company, with an open and diverse algorithm market.

To realize this mission, Bluesky launched the AT Protocol v1 (ATP). The algorithm at ATP will act as an aggregator service, similar to a search engine.

"For users, the ability to customize their feed will give them control over their most valuable resources, as they are concerned," Graber said, quoted Saturday, April 1.

"For developers, open algorithm markets will provide freedom of experiment and issue algorithms that anyone can use," he added.

Users can find, share, and add algorithms to their clients. Thanks to the UX design, users can easily switch between favorite algorithms or view multi-algorithm feeds.

Graber menyadari, kemajuan terbaru dalam pembelajaran mesin akan memudahkan untuk menjadikan dengan cara-cara baru dalam menyusun konten.

"Although algorithmic feeds and tracing are the main focus here, we use similar approaches to deal with reputation, misinformation labeling, and moderation," Graber explained.

Bluesky is currently working on API feeds for developers, as well as a feed selection system that will eventually allow users to browse third-party feeds and integrate them into their timeline.

Finally, users can also select their own algorithms, including chronological feeds, which can overcome back-reaction reactions to the algorithm manipulation felt from other users' timelines.
