Dorsey Slams Bluesky: “It’s Not What I Intended to Create”
Dorsey recently made headlines with his decision to leave the board of Bluesky, a decentralized social network initiative he helped to launch as an alternative to Twitter. During his interview, Dorsey expressed disappointment with the direction Bluesky had taken. He went on to criticize it for not achieving the decentralization he had hoped for. He said Bluesky was “literally repeating all the mistakes [Twitter] made” and described it as just “another app”.
Dorsey initially conceived Bluesky as an open-source protocol upon which Twitter and other social media platforms could build, He wanted it to separate the protocol layer from the application layer. This separation was intended to minimize censorship risks. However, Dorsey claimed Bluesky began to mirror a traditional company structure, increasingly focusing on developing moderation tools. This deviated from its original mission of creating an open and less regulated platform.

“Everything we wanted around decentralization, everything we wanted in terms of an open source protocol, suddenly became a company with VCs and a board. That’s not what I wanted, that’s not what I intended to help create.”
