Jack Dorsey Steps Down from Bluesky Board

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, has stepped down from the board of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he initiated and financially supported in 2019 during his tenure as Twitter's CEO.

Bluesky officially confirmed Dorsey’s departure in a post on May 5, expressing gratitude for his contribution to the project’s inception and funding. Dorsey’s exit was preceded by a brief response on X, where he tersely replied “no” to a query about his status on Bluesky’s board.

Neither Bluesky nor Dorsey provided reasons for his departure, and Bluesky has yet to respond to inquiries for clarification.

In parallel, Dorsey has been active on X, promoting his grants for open interest protocols and referring to the platform, now owned by Elon Musk, as “freedom technology.”

According to reports from Big Tech Alert, Dorsey has significantly reduced the number of accounts he follows on X, retaining only three: Musk, Stella Assange (wife of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange), and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Dorsey’s decision to maintain Musk in his follow list and his positive remarks about X suggest a potential reconciliation between the two figures.

This contrasts with Dorsey’s criticism of Musk’s management of X in April 2023, where he expressed dissatisfaction with the board’s decision to sell the platform to Musk.
