Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter and a prominent advocate for the decentralized social network Bluesky, has announced his departure from the company’s board. Dorsey made this revelation in a straightforward manner on X, responding to a user’s inquiry about his current role at Bluesky with a simple “no.” This comment marks the first public acknowledgment of his exit from the board, although Bluesky has not yet made an official statement confirming his departure.
Bluesky, which began as an initiative within Twitter in 2019, became an independent entity and recently transitioned from an invite-only phase to a public launch in March. While Dorsey’s involvement has been a significant highlight in the network’s development, the project is currently led by CEO Jay Graber.
Interestingly, Dorsey’s relationship with social media platforms has been under scrutiny, especially following his mixed comments about X after Elon Musk’s takeover. His latest post on X emphasized the importance of defending rights through “freedom technology,” suggesting a continued interest in decentralized platforms.
As of now, Bluesky has not updated its website to reflect any changes in its board composition, and Dorsey’s own Bluesky account appears to have been deactivated months ago. The situation remains dynamic, and further updates are anticipated as the company responds to inquiries regarding this significant change.
