In Sxsw, CEO of Bluesky Jay Gray Graber Pokes is fun in Mark Zuckerberg with a Latin phrase T -shirt

when Blouse CEO Jay Gabbar On the stage SXSW 2025 for its main discussionShe wore a large black shirt and her hair is back to a cake. At first glance, it might seem as if she was following the same playing book that many women played in technical leadership before: reducing her femininity to take seriously.

The truth is a more interesting way than this. What might seem like the ordinary black T -shirt is hidden, but clear Criticized in Mark ZuckerbergThe CEO, who represents everything that Bluezi tries to work on as an open source social network.

The founder of Meta and CEO of Al -Maqran himself directly with the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. He announced his own shirt Or Zoque or nothingIt is a play on the Latin phrase Or Caesar or nothing: “Either Caesar or nothing.”

The Grockerg shirt on the stage says on the stage of the stage on stage, says a shirt that is directly on the stage. The world without Caesar. Or, “a world without Caesar.”

With Bluesky design, Griber definitely puts her money where her mouth (or her shirt) is. As a social network, a central, not based on an open source working frame, Bluesky differs from old platforms such as Facebook that users have a direct and transparent window on how to build the statute.

“If the billionaire comes and bought Bluesky, or seizes it, or if tomorrow it decides to change things in a way that people don’t really like it, they can get rid of another application,” GRABER explained in SXSW. “There are already applications in the network that gives you another way to view the network, or you can create a new chain as well. That’s why this openness guarantees that there is always the ability to move to a new alternative.”

Meanwhile, Meta ended users by interfering with how people try their platforms, and Bluesky directly benefited from it. After Meta prompted controversial updates such as artificial intelligence training on public user publications, or the execution of third -party fact inspection programs, Bluesky has witnessed growth bursts by the user.

However, Bluesky has a long way if he wanted to drop the Roman Empire of Meta. While the GRABER platform is closed on 33 million total usersMeta has 3.35 billion active users per day Through all its products: Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. For Meta, this is about 40 % of the world’s population.

But for an emerging social network, Bluesky created enough cultural imprint that must be wrapped around. Rome was not built – and it was not overthrown – in one day.
