That’s all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.
Which is why “Not for profit” organisations are such a good thing. They are harder to get going but because they are not investment vehicles in the same way you don’t have CEOs installed just to maximise share value. Decisions are focused on what the company needs to perform its mission.
The American Healthcare system fully disagrees with your statement, as they actively exploit non-profit status to avoid taxes and squeeze any “profits” into bonuses for the people at the top. They aren’t even the only industry doing this, but it all boils down to a piss poor lack of regulation and enforcement that really lets companies exploit non-profit structures.
Certainly things can be open to abuse, and different regulatory systems have different loop holes. However I have seen examples where it’s been a good thing.
USAmerica is just corrupt country that non-profit is just a way to avoid taxes.
Most of parts of the world won’t let non-profit to be turned that way.
What goes up must come down… watch in the tech bro future we will be bailing out social media companies just like the airlines. Always making a good thing bad.
They may fail but we better not be bailing them out!
Ahh, the “decentralized accelerationist” moves on to fuck up more platforms.
Does anyone know what desitions he made at Automattic?
> Schneider, who will continue working as a partner at the venture capital firm True Ventures while at Bluesky, was previously CEO of the Wordpress parent company, Automattic, from 2006 to 2014.
Does anyone know what desitions he made at Automattic?
given the way automattic has run for the last 15 years, probably the bad ones.
Blue sky was started by elon’s good buddy. It was always going to go full shit.
it wasn’t started by jack; it was an incubator project at twitter with the original twitter devs and jack remained on the board.
That goon has his DNA all over bluesky, and he has a long history with elon. Cling to semantics if you need to, but the spirit of what I said was true. If they could get away with the optics of dorsey heading bluesky in that “exodus” moment, they would have. But all knew that would leave a bad taste in the public’s mouth and slow/stall adoption, so they had the charade they presented.

Is it? Doesn’t seem a valid argument.
Hitler embraced the construction of the autobahn. Therefore, the autobahn is evil.
operates the same way (guilt by association fallacy). I agree bluesky “was always going to shit” for entirely different reasons like repeating the same mistakes of twitter.
Maybe you could offer a more logical argument for your conclusion instead of dragging the discussion into irrationality?
Is she getting tired of death threats from trump’s gang?
"Venture capitalist " pfffft “proves you build a real business around open software.” - well forget about that the corpos dragging us all into cyber war (wE hAvE +0 sAvE +He Ch!LdReN)… while we talk to LLMs with our subscription based suck and fuck machine brought to you by tesla gambiling with fart coin eating radioactive cornchips. Roman salute to the suck and fuck machine as your identity is being stolen by DOGE and sold to israel because you posted something naughty on the interweb. The future is stoopid the future is a nightmere. They always leave when something “BIG” is going to happen. Corpos are strategic… Corpo messaging… “positioning itself as a progressive replacement”— CORPO_WOKE… What you see is not what you see. Other than trying to read between the lines why the fuck would anybody care about these vampires. A circle jerk of the techbro wealthy. I take nothing at face value. Katie Drummond the current global editorial director at Wired at the WEF Annual Meeting in 2025
These capitalist are sick and tired of the constitution. Everything is a commodity that you can rent. I know I sound crazy but I am not. They are playing good cop bad cop and flooding the zone. They all in on it. It is one big club and you aint in it. I don’t like change in general and I am not big on features and benefits. I have yet to be impressed other than be horrified by AI. Reinvent a wheel as a square, charge tripple and beat me over the head with it.
Julian Paul Assange + Edward Snowden = FUCK ALL BIG TECH
You do sound a little batty, as a matter of style.

Yeah, like… I think I agree with most of that, but I really want any of that to represent me.

If the CEO is in charge of a technology based company, yeah…it does.
“Tim Cook steps down from role”
“THATS NOT A TECHNOLOGY STORY!!!”
See how that comes off?
Tim who? Now if Tim Apple stepped down, that’d be something
His name is literally Tim Apple. I don’t think the company would survive without him.

CEO changes can be very intensive technology changes like when musk took over Twitter and turned the tech into a dumpsterfire
He turned the social media platform into a dumpster fire. The model itself is fine. I’m not really sure what, if anything, Twitter has been doing that’s innovative after they created the platform in the first place, so I’m not sure what the tech aspect is there.
A little of yes a little no
