    Remember kids, Jack Dorsey still owns BLUESKY, and if anyone is trying to tell you he doesn’t, they’re lying.

    Dorsey is THE founder of BLUESKY, and is it’s largest shareholder, even though he is no longer on the board, and went through the theater of closing his BLUESKY account, he will have the say in pretty much everything, not the least of which, which fascist Elon Musk clone, BLUESKY is sold to, when of course it eventually it will be.

    Fool me once.

      Jack Dorsey still owns BLUESKY, and if anyone is trying to tell you he doesn’t, they’re lying.

      But Mr Dorsey is no longer part of the team behind it, having stepped down from the board in May 2024. He deleted his account altogether in September. It is now run and predominantly owned by chief executive Jay Graber as a US public benefit corporation.

      You sure about that?

        “It is now run and predominantly owned by chief executive Jay Graber as a US public benefit corporation.”

        It’s that predominantly that’s the tell. The Guardian has no more idea who owns which and how many shares as anyone else, because it’s a privately held corporation. Yeah, i’m pretty sure, and when they go public, we’ll all be positive of it. If Dorsey wasn’t the largest shareholder, they would have been feeding THAT out to the press, instead of the incessant every present PR line “stepped down from the board” and “closed his account” lol

        jack dorsey is the largest shareholder in bluesky because he founded it and has never transferred or given up his shares in it
