    FTA:

    In the interview, Dorsey claimed that Bluesky was “literally repeating all the mistakes” he made while running Twitter. The entire conversation is long and a bit rambly, but Dorsey’s complaints seem to boil down to two issues:

    1. He never intended Bluesky to be an independent company with its own board and stock and other vestiges of a corporate entity (Bluesky spun out of Twitter as a public benefit corporation in 2022.) Instead, his plan was for Twitter to be the first client to take advantage of the open source protocol. Bluesky created.
    2. The fact that Blueksy has some form of content moderation and has occasionally banned users for things like using racial slurs in their usernames.

    “People started seeing Bluesky as something to run to, away from Twitter,” Dorsey said. “It’s the thing that’s not Twitter, and therefore it’s great. And Bluesky saw this exodus of people from Twitter show up, and it was a very, very common crowd. … But little by little, they started asking Jay and the team for moderation tools, and to kick people off. And unfortunately they followed through with it. That was the second moment I thought, uh, nope. This is literally repeating all the mistakes we made as a company.”

      “People started seeing Bluesky as something to run to, away from Twitter,” Dorsey said

      This quote in context with all the rest of his statement makes it clear he didn’t understand what people were running from. Unless he intended it to be like Truth Social and thought folks were running towards that.

      Please stop spreading rumors about me and lies. It’s not very ladylike of you. Listen, I’d like to invite you over tomorrow for some chamomile tea and a good old heart to heart between two sisters. Would you be interested?
