    Do you have a source for the “largest shareholder” thing? I’m having a hard time finding anything about that.

      This user is spamming the same comments about this on every post about Bluesky and their sources are “trust me bro I hate Jack”

      that’s right, you absolutely are having a hard time finding ANYTHING at all about the ownership of BLUESKY, only that it was incorporated. zero on it’s shareholders, zero on Dorsey’s transfer of private stock/equity. absolutely nothing at all.

        Holy crap, that was a hard pivot. Is your neck OK?

        I mean, Bluesky is a private company, it seems to be incorporated in Delaware as a PBC and they claim it is owned by members of Bluesky itself. It’s unclear if that means Dorsey divested from it when he left the board or not, and since they’re not a public company they don’t have an obligation to say. You know as much about Bluesky as you do about Valve or Ikea.

        I don’t actively support them or root for them, but it’s not a particularly huge mystery, and my paticipation on it doesn’t imply my moral support to their board members (who are public and known) or their investors.

        Most of the anecdotal stuff I see online says their current CEO is the largest owner. That said, you claim it’s Jack. I’m just curious about where you heard that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
