This is the best summary I could come up with:


Because — in Dorsey's telling, at least — Bluesky was "literally repeating all the mistakes [Twitter] made as a company."

That's the TLDR from an interview Dorsey conducted with journalist Mike Solana at his Pirate Wires site.

And then Dorsey decided what he really wanted to do was help Nostr, another Twitter alternative, which promises to actually be an open-source protocol, instead.

Dorsey, for instance, has some mostly kind words about Elon Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022.

Though that mostly repeats his idea that Twitter's original sin was becoming a venture-backed, for-profit company that went public with a business model based on advertising, positioned as a Facebook competitor.

But that story/argument isn't a new one — you can find it in this four-episode podcast series I hosted last year, for instance.
