    Jack Dorsey doesn’t “own” Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.

    “Prior to the seed round, Bluesky’s website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp.”

      This is what so called open ai does. It isn’t open even in the sense of open group Unix. I just feel pity for American tax payers as elections are near. Both of these people have significant say in US/World politics.

      Ah, he doesn’t own it, he just decides what it does.

        he literally has no leadership stake in it… but considering it’s open source, literally anyone can make a pull request if they want to, even dorsey

            Dismissing an entire comment over the usage of a single word is closed minded. Language evolves over time, get used to it.

        I don’t see how that’s accurate if it’s jointly owned by its employees.
