Technically yeah, Jack is not working on Bluesky but it's his vision and they're still following his vision even after he left Twitter. The Bluesky people kind of downplay their connection to Twitter but IMO without that connection they're just yet another protocol with no users and no killer feature.

I am somewhat saddened to ascertain that most of this project is still rather somewhat under corporate twitter control. Oh boo.

I've spent less than an hour reviewing atproto. So far it has passed my sniff tests; seems legit decentralizing. But there's definitely room for gotchas I havent seen yet.

Thanks for detailing where the powers lie. So far, I'm still willing to attribute great intent & purpose. But it's important to consider, to know influences. Your post is much appreciated, evem if, for now, I believe it all, ascribe- hestinatly- to this system.

I am also on the Bluesky board, and while the original funding did come from Twitter (at Jack’s direction), the company has no control over Bluesky and it is 100% independent.
