  He left in May.

    He left the board. As a “public benefit organization” it’s still a for-profit company and he still owns stock.

      But he’s left seemingly under a cloud, so unless the leadership changes I doubt he’s influencing decision making.

      Let’s be honest these social media platforms will be a rinse and repeat. Just enjoy it whilst it lasts. Move on when the ownership go full Elon.

        Jack Dorky got literally laughed off the platform.

    So he’s completely removed from anything to do with that company and isn’t inherently woven into the DNA as it’s very recent founder?

      Mike Masnick is also been added to the bluesky board which gives me some faith Bluesky will less of a Elon / Dorsey vibe

  I dunno. I’d say it’s more important to see what exactly he’s doing and what Bluesky is.

  Right now Bluesky is really good. So until it turns bad I’m sticking to it.

      i know. but its our responsability to understand why the corporate shitty options are always preferred by the layman public.

        Because we are extremely simple and self obsessed animals in the whole. At the intersection of those two things, we regularly conflate base familiarity with earned trust. A bit of a narcissistic drive to tell ourselves that… if WE know about something, it MUST be good, otherwise we wouldn’t have taken the time to first learn about it!

        It’s why your town is currently infested with hands-free signs in every public space. It’s also why incumbents have such large advantages in elections and why dead/convicted politicians (or Last-name sharing family members of those politicians) are often elected after the fact.
