Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has stepped down from the board of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he conceived and funded in 2019 while he was CEO of Twitter. Bluesky confirmed Dorsey's departure in a May 5 post on the platform, stating that it was searching for a new board member and thanking Dorsey for his help in starting and funding the project. Meanwhile, early Bluesky backers were busy promoting grants for open interest protocols and referring to the social network, now owned by Elon Musk, as freedom technology.
