Jack Dorsey has no involvement in Bluesky. He doesnt even have a Bluesky account.
Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users.

I find it odd that people follow Jack Dorsey into another sewer in troves. They seem to like the previous Twitter experiment, while I find it repugnant.
The lesson today is that I don’t get the social media phenomenon. My bad. I hope they have a ton of fun.

He was the founder… I did not know he had left.

He’s already gone. But, regardless, why sign up for yet another corporate social media site when every single one of them becomes enshittified after a few years. Are they just planning to abandon Bluesky eventually too? Or just hoping that this time it’s different?

You say that as if any Mastodon instance was guaranteed to last several years.

The difference is that you can easily move to another Mastodon instance, and it’s designed so that when you do that your followers / followees come with you.

Except you can’t move your posts. Or, really, anything other than followers.

I didn’t like Twitter as a social platform, but I did use it a lot for news on current events, such as how is the traffic on my route home, and why am I stuck in traffic, and how many miles ahead of me is the fucking accident?
Handy for communication during some kind of emergency that floods the phone network, but that’s pretty niche. Anyway, I interact a little on Bluesky but mostly it’s just a time killer like TikTok or whatever. Twitter was super easy to quit between the Musk take over and moving away from DC.

Jack Dorsey is not part of Bluesky, maybe you don’t get things because you don’t pay attention.
