But it’s owned by Jack, right? Who’s posting increasingly Musk-level takes on Twitter

No. I believe he is just on the board.

The “At” protocol is supposed to allow you to take your account elsewhere. Since you own the domain, nobody else can use it and thus you may migrate to instances owned by other corporations or by you even.

  Not that this isn't nice, but won't it inevitably be the case for 99.999% of users (if they actually get to be large enough) that they reply on some other service (or BlueSky itself) to provide their @domain? I can't imagine that the full solution for account portability requires every single user to own their own domain in perpetuity.

Seriously, what is with Silicon Valley people turning into insane cranks over the past year? Is there a ketamine fad causing brain damage among them?

  It might just be their opinions mature with time. These aren't exactly outlandish opinions

    Jack is still shilling for RFK Jr.
    - pessimizer 3y ago
      RFK, Jr. is a presidential candidate with nearly as much support as Biden. I'd never vote for him*, and I'm not interested in much he has to say, but everything he says is well within the (statistical) mainstream of belief. ----- [*] I'm not voting for any relative of another president, or probably even a relative of a congressperson; though it looks like one, I like to think this isn't a banana republic. Also, RFK, Jr. was against vaccines even when they weren't lying about them, and made his "political" bones by being against windfarms.

        > RFK, Jr. is a presidential candidate with nearly as much support as Biden He's polling between 45-60 percentage points behind Biden in most national Democratic primary polling; in the few key states that already have state level polling published are mostly in the same range, though he’s only 40 points behind in one recent Wisconsin poll. “nearly as much support as Biden” is nowhere close to the supported by evidence.

    No it’s the opposite. Nobody is accusing them of being too mature.

  Jack Dorsey has been a crank for five years or more.
