Jack Dorsey says he’s no longer on Bluesky’s board

Twitter laminitis Jack Dorsey is apparently nary longer connected nan committee of Bluesky, nan decentralized societal media level he helped start. Yesterday, an X personification asked him if he was still connected nan company’s board, and Dorsey responded, without further elaboration, “no.”

There’s seemingly nary grounds that Dorsey is disconnected nan Bluesky committee yet, isolated from his post. The institution still lists him arsenic a committee member, on pinch its CEO, Jay Graeber, and Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller. Dorsey originally backed Bluesky successful 2019 arsenic a task to create an open-source societal media modular that he wanted Twitter to move to, and later joined its committee of directors erstwhile it divided from Twitter successful 2022.

But Dorsey hasn’t seemingly been a peculiarly progressive subordinate astatine nan company. In March, erstwhile The Verge’s Nilay Patel asked Graeber for Decoder about his level of engagement pinch nan company, she said she gets “some feedback occasionally,” but implied he’s different “being Jack Dorsey connected a cloud,” arsenic Nilay put it. Months earlier that interview, Dorsey had closed his Bluesky account.

Bluesky did not instantly respond to The Verge’s petition for comment.
