Ahh, the “decentralized accelerationist” moves on to fuck up more platforms.

Does anyone know what desitions he made at Automattic?
> Schneider, who will continue working as a partner at the venture capital firm True Ventures while at Bluesky, was previously CEO of the Wordpress parent company, Automattic, from 2006 to 2014.

given the way automattic has run for the last 15 years, probably the bad ones.

Nah, ceo-shmeo shuffle has nothing to do with technology.

If the CEO is in charge of a technology based company, yeah…it does.
“Tim Cook steps down from role”
“THATS NOT A TECHNOLOGY STORY!!!”
See how that comes off?

His name is literally Tim Apple. I don’t think the company would survive without him.

No? Cook’s moving isn’t a “technology” story.

Like it or not CEOs hold considerable power in tech.

Dictators too. That doesn’t make news about them “technology” news.

CEO changes can be very intensive technology changes like when musk took over Twitter and turned the tech into a dumpsterfire

Blue sky was started by elon’s good buddy. It was always going to go full shit.
Ulrich@feddit.org 15 hours ago
He was not always Elon’s buddy and he was not a PoS at the time, to my knowledge. In fact he went on Joe Rogan and argued with Tim Poole and defended his liberal policies and trans protections.
Unfortunately COVID radicalized them both.
Snapz@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Covid didn’t “radicalize” anyone? It was just an opportunity for bad people, with more typically controlled PR images to that point, to show the world exactly who they had always been.
All these goons also have multiple performative “arguments” over the years to muddy the conversation about how evil they actually are. Vance called trump America’s Hitler, elon basically called trump a pedophile publicly post-doge and at the end of the day, they are all still hanging out ruining the world. None of it was sincere.
Would advise you to stop eating that little trail of curated breadcrumbs they leave for you, it’s a cynical game and they think you’re stupid enough to buy it.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 hours ago
it wasn’t started by jack; it was an incubator project at twitter with the original twitter devs and jack remained on the board.
Snapz@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
That goon has his DNA all over bluesky, and he has a long history with elon. Cling to semantics if you need to, but the spirit of what I said was true. If they could get away with the optics of dorsey heading bluesky in that “exodus” moment, they would have. But all knew that would leave a bad taste in the public’s mouth and slow/stall adoption, so they had the charade they presented.

"Venture capitalist " pfffft “proves you build a real business around open software.” - well forget about that the corpos dragging us all into cyber war (wE hAvE +0 sAvE +He Ch!LdReN)… while we talk to LLMs with our subscription based suck and fuck machine brought to you by tesla gambiling with fart coin eating radioactive cornchips. Roman salute to the suck and fuck machine as your identity is being stolen by DOGE and sold to israel because you posted something naughty on the interweb. The future is stoopid the future is a nightmere. They always leave when something “BIG” is going to happen. Corpos are strategic… Corpo messaging… “positioning itself as a progressive replacement”— CORPO_WOKE… What you see is not what you see. Other than trying to read between the lines why the fuck would anybody care about these vampires. A circle jerk of the techbro wealthy. I take nothing at face value. Katie Drummond the current global editorial director at Wired at the WEF Annual Meeting in 2025
These capitalist are sick and tired of the constitution. Everything is a commodity that you can rent. I know I sound crazy but I am not. They are playing good cop bad cop and flooding the zone. They all in on it. It is one big club and you aint in it.

That’s all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.
Ulrich@feddit.org 15 hours ago
It was always going to be this way. It didn’t take long to see the signs of enshittification on BSky. They were subpoenaed for user info, they banned journalists, implemented age verification, and I left when they started adding link redirects and tracking.
Delusion6903@discuss.online 15 hours ago
They banned journalists? Who?
And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

Which is why “Not for profit” organisations are such a good thing. They are harder to get going but because they are not investment vehicles in the same way you don’t have CEOs installed just to maximise share value. Decisions are focused on what the company needs to perform its mission.
ChaosSpectre@lemmy.zip 10 hours ago
The American Healthcare system fully disagrees with your statement, as they actively exploit non-profit status to avoid taxes and squeeze any “profits” into bonuses for the people at the top. They aren’t even the only industry doing this, but it all boils down to a piss poor lack of regulation and enforcement that really lets companies exploit non-profit structures.

What goes up must come down… watch in the _ tech bro future_ we will be bailing out social media companies just like the airlines. Alway making a good thing bad.

They may fail but we better not be bailing them out!
