We sincerely thank Jack for his help funding and initiating the bluesky project. Today, Bluesky is thriving as an open source social network running on atproto, the decentralized protocol we have built.
All I ask is that you get someone smart and qualified to be on it. No rich tech bros, no fame-addicted clout-chasing elders, no political crackpots. Someone with some sense about the world and how the internet is meant to work.
With Jack’s departure, we are searching for a new board member for the Bluesky public benefit company who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience. More to come!
Could you give the Feed "For You" back to SkyGaze? Since Bluesky’s stewardship took it away from them it simply has to be thrown away. Now it's unusable, it showing me all the shit I really don't want to see. 💔 When it was in their hands I saw art, comments from other artists and photos of cats! 💖
May we only hope the site can continue to survive, without mandating constant growth of growth, and some rich do gooders pay the hosting fees out of the desire for a free and open internet
We not gonna talk about how this wasn’t even announced, someone just asked Jack on Xitter if he was still on the board and he gave a terse “No”? Did BlueSky employees find out the same time all the rest of us did from a post on Xitter?
Super unprofessional of him, but I expect nothing less.
I can make it in 3 weeks but I will require a plane ticket from Norway. Trust me, I can make the best cuppa ever so worth it either way :)
Also, good luck. Love bsky, look forward to more.
Find someone who doesn't get mad because the majority of people on the site hate crypto, since thats why bitch boy Jack ran off to cry to his friends on that weird crypto site he went to
1) Glad he's gone, he's straight-up a big reason lots of folks don't use this site.
2) My dumb-ass didn't realize that y'all were using an Open-Source Decentralized Protocol like ActivityPub. Now I want to know what other sites can do if they use ATProto as well.
Thanks for offering me Jack's position last night guys but I have to turn it down. I'm on a secret Mars project with some South-African dude that looks amazing. I'll keep you posted but in the meantime, 🤫
the departure of the founder of bluesky is a regrettable gesture.
What if we involved @alainwebcreator from Cameroon in the management of this platform? 🤔Africa is a vast market to conquer

When you add the bluesky deactivate button, we only have the option to delete the account and many people want to "take a break" by deactivating instead of deleting the account. If possible, ask Jay to put the button to deactivate the account. Grateful!
happy to help but my focus is going to be largely on the definition of the word "federation", so I doubt that'll actually be of much practical use to y'all
We also would like to thank Jack for finally fucking off.
On the board of a service and using a competitor's service, WTF are you doing.
"WTF is he doing": also an accurate description of Jack's antics over the last years. Might have gotten the smoked mind virus from standing too close to Elon.
Will somebody please tell me, since I have been on Blue Sky, since mid February, 2024, why my timeline posts, never receive responses,
I also have been a part of Twitter, over seven years, seven accounts, now it is X now, and none of my timeline posts, ever received responses.
Now? Why is this?
