As a crypto investor and tech enthusiast with a keen interest in decentralized social media platforms, I’ve been closely following the developments surrounding Jack Dorsey’s exit from Bluesky’s board. Dorsey, a co-founder of Twitter and an early backer of Bluesky, announced his departure hours before confirming he was no longer on the project’s board in a cryptic response to a query on X.
Jack Dorsey, a co-founder of Twitter and the mind behind Bluesky, a decentralized social media project initiated in 2019 during his tenure as CEO of Twitter, has stepped down from Bluesky’s board.
In a post dated May 5th, Bluesky announced that they were looking for a replacement board member and expressed gratitude towards Dorsey for his significant contribution in initiating and financing their project.
Previously, I came across a query on platform X regarding my current position on Bluesky’s board. My answer was succinctly “no.” Neither Bluesky nor I have disclosed the reasons behind this decision. Bluesky has yet to provide a response to my follow-up inquiry seeking clarification.
As an early supporter of Bluesky, I spent my time actively working on projects related to open interest protocols. I passionately referred to Twitter, now under Elon Musk’s ownership, as “freedom technology.”
As a researcher examining social media activity in the tech sector, I came across an intriguing post from Big Tech Alert. According to their update, Dorsey, a notable tech executive, had significantly pruned his follow list. Specifically, he reduced it to include only three individuals: Elon Musk, Stella Assange – wife of Julian Assange, the imprisoned founder of WikiLeaks – and Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor-turned-whistleblower.
Dorsey keeping Musk on his follow list and the endorsement of X suggests the two have made amends.
Last April, according to TechCrunch, Dorsey criticized Musk on Bluesky, expressing his view that Musk had been mismanaging X and the board should not have allowed him to purchase it.
Last year, around the end of 2019, Dorsey, who was then the CEO of Twitter, unveiled Bluesky. He shared that the company would be financing a team of up to five architects, engineers, and designers to build an open-source standard for social media platforms that is both decentralized and independent.
Bluesky didn’t launch in beta until March 2023 and only opened to everyone on Feb. 7, 2024. It has around 5.6 million users, per its own stats.
