The founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, has recently stepped down from the board of Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform that he helped create. The company announced this news through a post on its own platform, stating that they are now looking for a new board member to join their team.
According to Bluesky, they are in search of someone who shares their vision of building a social network that empowers its users and puts them in control of their experience. With Jack's departure, they are looking for a like-minded individual who can contribute to the growth of the company.
Bluesky, which is backed by Dorsey, saw great success last year with two million users joining the platform in November. The company expressed their gratitude to Dorsey for his support and contribution in funding and initiating the project. They also mentioned that Bluesky is now thriving as an open-source social network, thanks to the decentralized protocol, "atproto," that they have built.
Dorsey's departure from the board was confirmed after a user on the platform asked him about his current status with Bluesky. In response, Dorsey simply replied with a "no." It is clear that he has moved on to other ventures, leaving the board of Bluesky in search of a new member.
Since its launch, Bluesky has introduced several features such as mobile push notifications, user lists, email verification, and advanced feed and thread preferences. The company has received a total of $21 million in funding, with $13 million secured in 2022, when Dorsey joined the board.
Bluesky's mission to create a user-centric social media platform has been well-received by users, and with a new board member on the horizon, the company is determined to continue its growth and success.
