So... aren't these wannabe twitter competitors going about the whole thing bass-ackwards?
I saw an article the other day about the Mastodon board of directors.
It's as if they think the way do do an internet startup is to first appoint a board of directors and hire a raft of executives, then... um... you know... um... do some business... kinda... stuff....

I’ve heard it “bass-ackwards” way more than “ass-backwards”, for decades
It’s basically ass-backwards said ass-backwards.
I had high school teachers in the 80s who said it.
Ha, it’s been the family friendly variant for at least a few decades

I’ve been ironically saying it for years tbh
It’s how the boomers have been saying it for decades.
What do you mean? The board provides the guidance and plots the course for the “low potential” people to follow.

I follow the Bluesky devs, I feel pretty confident that they are excited and taking their role in building a protocol and platform seriously.
I’ve yet to see a board of directors that wasn’t a joke anywhere though, so I guess I just assumed that this would happen everywhere.

Board positions exist as a way to funnel wealth to the children, relatives and friends of the people startups are going to for their initial investment.
