      Nothing might be going too far. He left the board since it wasn’t good PR for them but Bluesky is not transparent about its ownership and Dorsey could well still have a stake in it.

        They have talked about some parts of it. They got funding from Twitter under his direction and got to keep the funds when Twitter bailed on their side of the contract as Musk bought it (the initial plan was to move Twitter to a new protocol)

        It’s a public benefit corporation. Jack can’t legally do much at all after having left the board

          yeah I’m aware… doesn’t really refute anything I said. If he holds a share then he can do what any investor can do and how much he can do depends on how big his share of the company is.

            No, public benefit corporations specifically don’t work like that. They’re comparable to non profits in that manner

              They’re not. In practice PBC status doesn’t really limit them very much at all and is nothing like nonprofit.

        i largely guage the toxicity of platforms by how quickly you encounter a genocide denier. nostr holds the record in that i encountered one on there literally as soon as i finished onboarding. a record that can only be tied, not beaten

        Crypto bro here and I agree wholeheartedly. Crypto shouldn’t be anyone’s whole personality. Social networking doesn’t need money baked into it - it just needs decentralized moderation, and we can donate out of band. Anyone who wants to improve society somewhat should be on the fediverse right now.
