Gregory's Server@boris Don’t you think it would be helpful for BS if Jack was not involved? Seems like it sends a lot of very bad signals. But maybe I’m seeing it wrong.

@boris I know what a board member does, and I suspect he’s the largest donor. The question is whether it’s helpful for him to be involved, given his actions at Twitter. (I’m totally open to the answer being ‘yeah, it’s helpful anyway.)

@Jonathanglick not a donor personally, it was funded out by Twitter before it was purchased. Not saying _you_ don’t know what a board member is, just giving some flavour of what I’m saying from a lot of OSS people who haven’t built companies before.

@Jonathanglick the blog has most of the public info right now and is a good read https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog I’ve always paid for my AP-based accounts and pay for a MicroBlog account. I think all these systems need to travel the same exploratory path around business models if the goal is to serve large numbers of people globally. Much like AP instances there will be a variety. |
@Jonathanglick I think a lot of people are projecting, don’t know what a board member does, hate company structures of all kinds.
Jay spent 6 months negotiating to get an independent structure and set up a Public Benefit Corporation to make sure the ATProtocol could act separately.
So I think the network, open source collaboration, and other actions should speak for themselves.
