Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey Steps Down from Bluesky Board, Company Confirms
Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform co-founded by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter (now called X), raised $8 million last year and secured $13 million in funding in 2022, with Dorsey joining its board.
However, Jack has recently resigned from the board of Bluesky. The company has announced that it is searching for a new board member who shares their commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience.
Bluesky, which is an alternative to Twitter/X and has been backed by Dorsey, reached two million users in November last year. The company expressed gratitude to Dorsey for his help in funding and initiating the project.

Recently, the former CEO of Twitter accused India of pressuring the platform and threatening to shut it down and raid homes. In response, Bluesky, an open-source social network, announced that it is thriving on the decentralized protocol called ‘atproto’ that they have built.
In a separate development, Dorsey, who had joined Bluesky’s board in 2022, confirmed his departure in response to a user’s question. Bluesky has launched several features, including mobile push notifications, general user lists, email verification, and advanced feed and thread preferences.
