Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter and Square, is no longer on the board of Bluesky, which he also founded. He resigned and invested millions of dollars in a different project. It is not clear exactly why or when he left.
Jack Dorsey leaves Bluesky and invests millions of dollars in another decentralized network protocol
Dorsey announced his departure from Bluesky in a post on his Twitter/X account on Saturday. In response to a question about whether he was still on the board of a Twitter/X competitor, Dorsey gave a succinct “no” and did not elaborate further. Bluesky confirmed Dorsey’s departure on its platform later that day.
The official Bluesky account wrote: “We sincerely thank Jack for his help in funding and launching the bluesky project.”
Bluesky announced that it was looking for a new board member to replace Dorsey, looking for “someone who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience.”
While neither Dorsey nor Bluesky are willing to go into the details of Dorsey’s departure from Bluesky, Dorsey’s social media activity paints an interesting picture. Although Dorsey appears to have deleted his personal Bluesky account last September, he continues to use another decentralized social media networking protocol called Nostr.
Discord has responded to allegations that the messages of 620 million users were leaked and sold. Here are the details!
Despite his departure from Bluesky, Dorsey is still active on Twitter/X. Dorsey left Twitter/X’s board two years ago, in May 2022, just a few months before the social media platform was acquired by billionaire Elon Musk. This departure completed a planned exit that began when Dorsey stepped down as CEO in November 2021.
