| Wait Bluesky had a CEO? I thought it was some type of organic open source collective. |

| They constantly say they are a Public benefit corporation but there is no actual difference between that an a corporation. This leads to people assuming some kind of benevolence. |

| Nah, that's Nostr. fiatjaf created it but doesn't hold any actual authority. All the extensions are community-driven. |

| You're thinking of mastodon, and even that had a lead: https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/19/mastodon_ceo_steps_do... |

| ▲ | snapetom 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm not going to speak for OP, but I definitely remember it also being a rallying cry for Bluesky too. "No one person can control the network blah blah blah" | | |
| ▲ | simonw 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | That's not at all incompatible with Bluesky having a funded company with a CEO. The term they use for this is "credible exit" - designing the entire protocol such that if the company itself misbehaves the affected users can leave to a separate instance without losing their relationships or data. | |
| ▲ | SideburnsOfDoom 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Bluesky's claims of being decentralised were always way way ahead of the de-facto reality of it. That's not the same as Mastodon. It has been a "rallying cry" but it doesn't stand up to much scrutiny of how Bluesky actually functions: an "open protocol" with one central server means little. Maybe this will change at some point in the future, and maybe it is changing, see https://blacksky.community/ . But this is not the same as Mastodon, where it's been that way for a while. |
