Jack Dorsey Leaves Bluesky Board, Calls X ‘Freedom Technology’

Do we need to get this guy a coat?

Jack Dorsey has left the board of social networking service Bluesky, which he helped fund and popularize a year ago in the wake of regret over the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk.
The Twitter co-founder took to the Musk-owned platform, now rebranded X, to tout his new philanthropic grants to open internet protocols, which he described as “freedom technology.” He also added X to that class of tech, elaborating only to say that corporations can build upon open protocols too.
Dorsey whittled down the list of people he follows on X to just three: Musk, Edward Snowden and Stella Assange, wife of the imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher. It suggested an apparent warming of relations between X’s owner and Dorsey, who had posted on Bluesky a year ago that “it all went south” after Musk’s takeover and radical transformation of Twitter.

I give him credit for seemingly seeing the light. Can't be easy for someone with his influence and past success to basically admit he f'd up.

It is weird seeing how liberals have generally turned on Elon for only supporting free speech. Elon was their eco savior before but now they hate him for not censoring only speech they want. Maybe Dorsey has seen the light but I doubt it. Time will tell.

I believe he always held those beliefs, but was either powerless or unwilling to stand up against the government and powerful advertisers.
He did not have the money or cache' that Musk does.

Jack is an idiot, a giant pussy or both.
He created a wildly popular site, made a frickton of money from it, then rolled over for others to take over what he had created. He's pissed and whined about how he had no real power, but if that was true it happened only because he allowed it to as CEO.
What influence he had to create any real change, he squandered it to focus on yoga meditations and chakra crystals while he let the (other) lunatics run the asylum. Now that Elon has turned it from a ziggurat of leftist conformist dogma into the more open bastion of free expression Jack originally envisioned (and that Jack doesn't have to take any arrows for), Jack is more than willing to ride that bandwagon (from behind safety walls, of course).

Imagine being a young liberal tech guy that makes a start up social media company to post fun & goofy posts about yourself. Now fast forward 10 years, your company has grown tremendously. But you are powerless against an even more extreme liberal board AND you have the intelligence community deeply integrated in your company strong arming you and manipulating the public. At some point Dorsey realized this isn’t at all the reasons why he started a company.

When he first showed a changing political position during and interview in Davos, I was skeptical. But since then he has continued to swing right, let's hope it continues.
