I assume that the scientists heading to Bluesky remember this and are cool with this, right?

@xtaldave Yeah but be fair: he resigned from the board and walked away months ago.
Several people (including some associated with academia) I have seen in the new great migration have called that out as a specific reason they're willing to try it now.
@xtaldave Given Jack has departed Blue Sky is there any relevance to this??? https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/05/jack-dorsey-says-hes-no-longer-on-the-bluesky-board/
@xtaldave@xtaldave.net Dorsey left Bluesky left Bluesky months ago and has no connection left with the place.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't be careful with Bluesky, there are a few red flags I'm worried about, but facts matter.
@xtaldave Jack Dorsey completely left the board of Bluesky on May 2024 and cut all ties with Bluesky. I think he has no shares either, can't confirm it though. However, if he "lost all interest" like he said, I wonder why he'd want to have any shares of it. Dorsey's main focus is in Nostr.
