Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of X/Twitter until he resigned in 2021, has stepped down from the board of rival X Bluesky, a decentralized social media network he helped create, fund and promote.

Blue sky began as a small research project within Twitter at the time 2019 and became her platform in 2022. The company's goal is to create a common operating standard for social media platforms so that apps can work between them. Works LOT like Twitter, that was designed to replace.

Dorsey has been on Bluesky's board since the platform split from Twitter, now X, two years ago, but took to X on Saturday to simply write “no” when asked if he was still on board.

No.

Sunday, Bluesky posted an official statement on their website thanking Dorsey “for his help in funding and initiating” Bluesky. The company said it was looking for a new board member “who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience.”

We sincerely thank Jack for his help in funding and starting the bluesky project. Today, Bluesky is thriving as an open source social network running on atproto, the decentralized protocol we built.
