All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

    Let’s see here… ahh yes, it’s a company run by a board with a CEO based in Amerikkka. Who gives a shit if it’s non-profit or not, the users are not in control. No thanks.

      It’s also very much not non-profit.

        You’re right, I guess the original thing by Jack Dorsey (Bluesky Protocol) was non-profit, but since becoming its own entity it is for-profit now. I conflated the two.

        They consider themselves a Benefit Corporation, which I just learned is likely for-profit pretending to be socially aware.
