Twitter founder Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he helped start.In two posts today, Bluesky thanked Dorsey while confirming his departure and adding that it’s searching for a new board member “who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience.”
For now, two board members remain: CEO, Jay Graeber, and Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller.
Dorsey originally backed Bluesky in 2019 as a project to develop an open-source social media standard that he wanted Twitter to move to.
But Dorsey hadn’t seemingly been a particularly active participant at the company.
In March, when The Verge’s Nilay Patel asked Graeber for Decoder about his level of involvement with Bluesky, she said she gets “some feedback occasionally,” but implied he’s otherwise “being Jack Dorsey on a cloud,” as Nilay put it.
