Cool. I'm going out on a limb and saying Bluesky seems pretty based so far. I made an account when it was announced, and it's pretty cool. Nice app, seemingly good mission statement.

I don't want to dismiss something until it actually turns to shit. If it's good now, I'll use it now. When it turns to crap, I'll just jump off. I'll always have Lemmy and Mastodon as my mains, so I don't see the harm personally. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Let's just hope it'll last for the scientists' sake.

Problem is it absolutely will turn when the Bluesky owners Jay Graber and Jack Dorsey decide it's time to cash in. The project started out as a way to start decentralizing twitter, but they never actually accomplished that goal.

Jack Dorsey has nothing to do with Bluesky

[โ€“] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aside from being its founder. I know he left the board, but I haven't seen any reason to believe he gave up ownership rights.

Leaving the board of directors is pretty much as giving up ownership rights. He has nothing to do with Bluesky anymore and he makes us sure he doesn't want to.

It means he doesn't directly manage it. Proof that he sold his ownership to somebody else would be evidence of giving up ownership rights.

Leaving the board of directors means no day to day control, but he could still exert influence on a shareholders vote.
