      Theres also Scott I think with a username that starts with s and then a combination of b,c and t or something that I never manage to get right :-) Easiest way may be to shoot them a mail, see the footer for address.

  Ok, we've changed to that from https://decrypt.co/14386/jack-dorsey-wants-to-decentralize-twitter https://decrypt.co/14386/jack-dorsey-wants-to-decentralize-t.... Edit: never mind, I see that this is a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21762510 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21762510. We'll merge the discussions instead. Edit: done.

  Wrong Twitter co-founder. Evan Williams started Medium, not Jack Dorsey.
