hello bluesky i wrote about bluesky, the past day on this website, and if it’s got the “juice” to take on Twitter if it does, then it will be very funny because fun fact: before Elon Musk took over, Twitter sent $13 million in funding to Bluesky - ThreadSky

It would be a better article if you didn’t throw Jack’s name around and instead talked about the people actually building it. This kind of thing is why people think it’s Jack’s new app. Shine some light on the actual people doing it maybe.

"Jack off" (what I am calling these articles about bluesky centering jack) in the first line instead of the title, I guess that is a very slight improvement over the others. Still not good enough.

mattbinder.bsky.social•671 days ago

if Jack wasn’t involved do you think Twitter would’ve sent them $13 million

notwes.bsky.social•671 days ago

I am not denying that Jack is a critical investor or on the board, both true. I am saying that all of the articles y'all seem to be posting start off with "jack this and musk that" and you have to get way in to find a reference to the people actually building this thing.

Also I wasn't kidding when I said "better than the others". Yall did at least jump faster to it than others. I am just criticizing all of it for how quick to center the story on jack folks are. It really is convincing people jack runs the thing.

"Bluesky is a "decentralized" social media platform backed by former Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey"

Literally could have been:

"Bluesky is a "decentralized" social media platform fun by Jay Graber and backed by former Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey"

It is not hard.

"while Jack Dorsey provided the seed funding for it, Bluesky is not run by Dorsey, and both Dorsey and Bluesky CEO, Jay Graber, have been somewhat public about where they disagree on where they expected Bluesky to go, with Graber sticking to her vision and Jack focusing more on a different protocol"

*run by*

gotta present a fair pic as to who runs this place tho, the CEO is not even mentioned in passing.
as to founding, I don't know how it came to be; was that just Jack or does he get all the credit because everyone knows who he is?

I considered the screenshot a mention, but now that you say it this way....you are totally right. It wasn't even a post from Jay. These outlets wonder why we don't want to pay for their lazy stories.

where did i ask you for money

notwes.bsky.social•670 days ago

It was a generalization and I didn't say you did I said "these orgs". Sorry you got lumped into it.
