   @iDGS @philip_cardella Hi. While I definitely am not joining it, does anyone have the links for this information? I’ve seen the claim a few times and asked a few times, and no reply comes. I’ve also searched myself and have been unable to find anything. Thanks!

     @TonyStark reasonable question. What is certain is Bluesky was created to be decentralized by Jack Dorsey while he was still Twitter Ceo. When Jack sold Xitter he splintered Bluesky off.

     He claims it's decentralized and privately funded. All I can see so far that's decentralized is there's no algorithm and privately funded is a scary thought for me.

     Jack left most of Bluesky to the new CEO Jay Graber, who previously worked as a software engineer for the cryptocurrency Zcash.

     Many flags.

     @TonyStark what I just posted is plenty for me to stay away, especially the CEO being a software engineer for a crypto company and not, you know, an exec. Although the new CEO did found a company called Happening.

     I've never heard of it. But I'm old.
