Twitter/X co-founder Jack Dorsey has stepped down from Bluesky’s board of directors and invested in a competing project. The reasons for his departure remain unclear, but there seems to be some drama involved. Dorsey announced his exit from Bluesky through a post on his Twitter/X account, simply stating “no” when asked if he was still on the competitor’s board. Bluesky confirmed his departure and expressed gratitude for his contributions.
Bluesky is now in search of a new board member who shares their vision of empowering users in controlling their social network experience. Despite the lack of details from Dorsey and Bluesky, his actions on social media paint an intriguing picture. He deleted his personal Bluesky account last September but continues to use Nostr, another decentralized social media platform.
Questions about Dorsey’s status with Bluesky arose when his philanthropic fund #startsmall donated $5 million to support Nostr’s development. Dorsey remains active on Twitter/X, where he unfollowed most accounts except for Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, and Stella Assange. This comes after Dorsey left Twitter/X’s board of directors two years ago.
It seems that Dorsey’s focus has shifted away from Bluesky and towards other projects. The Bluesky platform, originally developed by a Twitter/X spinoff company, aims to create a decentralized social media protocol. Dorsey’s recent actions suggest that his interests in this technology may now lie elsewhere.
