That’s Bluesky. It’s supposed to be a federated social media, but right now there’s only one kind of software for it and you can’t yet self-host it (although you can self-host your data). The open-source protocol, known as AT, was created by Twitter back in the day, and Jack Dorsey and a bunch of staff were able to rescue it when Musk took over.
AT does not federate with ActivityPub, but users of either protocol can appear on the other using Bridgy; and some Friendica instances have basic support for AT. The equivalent of “fediverse” is “ATmosphere” (with the first two letters capitalised).
Since it became public (as opposed to invite-only), Dorsey left the platform and went back to Nostr (yet another microblogging platform, this time built around blockchain :-P).
It’s actually quite a nice place, in my opinion, with a vibe similar to a combination of Twitter and Tumblr.
Sorry for going into this much detail. I just really like explaining things.
EDIT: Turns out, the word being thrown around in place of “tweet” was also slang for cum. I have removed it, as this was probably originally a joke.
I mean you’re not wrong. I’ve seen multiple articles stating that a blue sky version of tweet is a skeet. It’s why I’ve written the entire platform off.

So do you guys not know what skeet means or…
I’m dying, we really out here trying to convince people to leave Twitter for a site that uses the word “reskeet”
I’ve just looked it up on UrbDict, and I think that might have been a joke that I just didn’t understand. I guess we just use “post” and “repost”.
What’s wrong with a little skeet shooting?

Ah, fuck.
Well, thanks for letting me know. Believe it or not, it’s not the first time this sort of thing has happened.

Thank you for taking into so much detail. I feel pretty well informed now.

I mean, you won’t get herded off the platform for saying “post” either.
