Best of Dying Twiter: so disappointing — Subium • Bluesky web client

so disappointing

Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk's bromance takes another weird turn - Fast Companywww.fastcompany.com Jack Dorsey confirms he has left the board of Twitter-alternative Bluesky and appears to put his support behind Elon Musk's X.

Nothing of value was lost here. He did all this wanting Bluesky to be a big thing about crypto and whatever, and left after the userbase rebuked all of that and decided this place needed to be far more gay, trans, furry and laughing at his shitty crypto stuff.

I love that Crypto/NFT is an official warning on Bsky

And really, the second anyone starts talking about it in person, it's also a warning!

It doesn’t help that by all accounts the crypto bubble has simply popped, the general public recognizes more and more each day that crypto is just funny money and money laundering tools

Not even surprised tbh, Jack has always allowed the worst of the worst on there when he was in charge. I'd imagine it's about to get so much worse

Also LOL the irony of saying shit like this while he's backing one of THE worst CEOs in existence, used to be a CEO for Twitter and is currently a CEO for some crypto related place called Square

Square is a payment processor largely for small business, actually one of the more legit things Jack has done over the years. Many of those little card readers that work with phones are Square devices.

You're thinking of Block Inc., btw, which is now the parent of Square (along with a bunch of other stuff), which invests heavily in crypto-related nonsense and has their own hardware wallet thing called Bitkey. Whatever the fuck that means.

No, it's about to get better.

Social media is dead, thanks to corporate greed

corporate social media is dead*

Hypothesis: Jack (a) wants Elon's approval but (b) believed that Elon really was for that free-speech jazz and would be happy about there being a new, fully-open social platform. But Elon took it as a betrayal (it pulls eyes away from X). So Jack has to dump Bluesky to stay Elon's BFF.

I find it weird how far people will go to try to get the approval of narcissists.

It REALLY needs more study.

imagine being chased off your own site so thoroughly you're begging an enemy for succour.

Jack Dorsey is a MAGA Chud too.

two dudes who look like they've spent a long, long time trying to suck their own dicks

And each other's

Bluesky it better off without that idiot Jack Dorsey

Read the article. He was a board member here. Why is Twitter "freedom technology"? I think aegis is garbo, did he agree?

Jack Dorsey’s a right wing moron, honestly it’s disappointing he was a board member on here in the first place. Bluesky will be far better off without his influence.

I'm not disappointed as I knew they're bros with stupid ideas.

On X, he only follows Musk, Snowden, Assange, and Assange’s wife

Its all about money. Free speech, freedom, social justice etc. just fancy words to cover it up.

Are those pubes under Elon's chin?

What are the chances of this affecting bluesky? Honestly, as I deleted my account from that cesspool owned by Musk, I don't care anymore about what becomes of it

Didnt Jack Donkey completely depart from bluesky? Nothing that they do there will affect us here, right?

That's what I think too as well

I'm so confused why Elon has Jack's beard in the preview pic

ABAB

A giant circular path of fuckwittery.

Dorsey was too busy smelling his own farts to keep Twitter viable

You’re telling me the man that allowed twitter to become a cess pool and paved the way for EM to take over is a terrible person? 😐 im shocked

Who the hell is still using Threads ffs? The place is the worst of all worlds.

i don't think anyone has ever used threads tbh, it's just facebook's shitty broken fedi instance with extra hate speech

Threads claims to have 150 million active monthly users, so it's much bigger than Bluesky. Not that I have any time for it, mind you.

Probably all the brain-dead from instagram clicking the wrong thing.

They just move the login button around until you accidentally click on it.

Meh. Jack always seemed like a bit of a bellend.

turns out billionaires are morons! mpre news at 12

oh thank GOD jack dorsey is gone from here

People warned us that this was gonna happen. Glad he left the Bluesky team, I guess. Whatever goes on, I guess I'll set up my own instance, fuck knows how.

eh, who cares. jack is part of the cabal of elon suck ups that convinced him to buy twitter in the first place. they just want money

lol, jack dorksy

We'll see how this plays out. Personally i think Dorsey should've stuck with Bluesky, as it has more long term potential than X.

Disappointing implies expectations of better behavior

Fast company is definitely one of the worst websites around. Bullshit auto play videos that take up half the screen and can't be dismissed (only minimised) making it far too distracting to actually read

Concerning.

Good riddance.
