Official Bluesky announcement

Jack Dorsey Exits Bluesky Board, Search for New Member Begins

May 6, 2024, 06:02 AM

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and a key figure in the creation of the decentralized social media platform Bluesky, has confirmed his departure from Bluesky's board. This announcement was made through various platforms including X (formerly Twitter), where Dorsey responded directly to a user's inquiry about his current role. Despite his departure, Bluesky's official FAQ still lists him as a board member, indicating a lack of update on their part. Bluesky has acknowledged Dorsey's departure and is actively seeking a new board member, as reported by Anthony Ha of TechCrunch. Dorsey, who had helped fund and popularize Bluesky following his regrets over Twitter's sale to Elon Musk, has been a pivotal figure in its development since its inception in 2019.
