Are you referring to Jack Dorsey? He's not the owner, he just gave them grant money in the beginning. It's a non-profit so technically no individual "owns" it.

Mastodon is nonprofit. Blue sky is for profit.

You're right about the Dorsey part.

Wait - are you sure it's non-profit? If so, why the VC money?

[–] huginn@feddit.it 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, he's wrong (obviously) it's a for profit startup.

It's not currently making money but that's different than nonprofit obviously.

He's right about the Jack part though.

He’s endorsing Kennedy so yeah there’s that hot mess.

Ah yeah i stand corrected:

“Prior to the seed round, Bluesky's website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by Graber and other Bluesky employees.[33] Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp.”
