Dorsey is no longer involved with Bluesky.

Oh, really? OK, that makes it definatelly less terrible. I guess I need to update myself about the organization behind it then. Thanks for the correction!

They got funding from Twitter and Jack was on the board for a bit, but he bailed and formally quit (funny enough he bailed because they did more moderation than he wanted)

Jack Dorsey founded bluesky, and is still it's largest shareholder

Prove it or stop spamming this

He's not involved with Twitter either. That doesn't make it not terrible.

Dorsey is THE founder of BLUESKY, and is it's largest shareholder, even though he is no longer on the board, and went through the theater of closing his BLUESKY account, he will have the say as to who BLUESKY is sold to, when eventually it will be. Fool me once.
