I mean.....yeah. The guy who created Bluesky is the same guy who created Twitter originally. What makes you think anything would be different? I'm honestly surprised they're even humoring the idea of decentralization.

He also left Bluesky in 2024 after it didn't become the libertarian techbro wankfest he envisioned and was instead heavily populated by folks who didn't want to slob Elon's knob.

sure and he left.twitter, him ostensibly leaving doesn't make it any better. The entire way its set up is the failure, it's yet another shitstain on the internet.

He publicly distanced himself but Bluesky's ownership is very opaque and they do dishonest PR very well so I would not be at all surprised if Dorsey still owns a part of it.

And he fucked a potato after peeling it and putting it in a sandwich baggy!

Are you asking people to send you photos of that?

Jack dorsey didn't create bluesky, and he had little effect on it.
He started the team for bluesky after reading protocols, not platforms. They were given a lot of independence from twitter (so much so that they were able to continue as a separate thing after twitter got musk-ed), but the goal was to eventually implement the protocol they come up with/choose on twitter.

He was on their board for a short period of time, but ragequit and deleted his account after they started moderating content.

I also find the idea the people working on bluesky are "holding back" the decentralisation efforts funny, considering they are making literally no money right now.

I do think the people behind it like the idea of data portability and decen, just not enough to compromise their business for it.

This seems to be the closest to a reasoned argument in this thread. Realistically, what should they be doing differently?

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I really really REALLY don't get people who leave one company turned bad to turn to another company trying the same thing.

They'll be the good guys for sure!

Yeah, but it has a good UI and isn't a massive echo chamber so what cha gonna do?

Normies just get screeched at by tankies and nerds and leave 🤷‍♂️
