  I'm excited to announce that I'll be leading @bluesky, an initiative started by @Twitter to decentralize social media. Follow updates on Twitter and at https://blueskyweb.org/

  Jay will be leading @bluesky! Another step towards decentralizing Twitter and social media. Now we can move much faster, and through code. https://twitter.com/...

  I look forward to partnering closely with Twitter and other companies as we embark on this journey. It won't happen overnight, but we'll share our progress along the way.

  This is amazing news for the world! What a fantastic choice. This is just the kind of leadership we need in this space. https://twitter.com/...

  wtf is this - twitter leading the charge to decentralize social media is not what we need https://twitter.com/...

  Will be interesting to follow this and the trade-offs a decentralised social media platform makes v centralised. https://twitter.com/...

  Wow. This is getting real. https://twitter.com/...

  Love to see it. For those who don't know, Jay briefly worked for @fightfortheftr back in the day :) Decentralization won't magically solve all of the legitimate concerns people have with the impacts of social media, but it can address a lot of them, and lead to a better world💗 ht…

  Jay gets it. She gets decentralization and what we're all doing here. Blue sky isn't just Twitter and not everyone at Twitter is a Bitcoin maxi. https://twitter.com/...

  The @bluesky initiative of @jack's is our best prospect for a next-generation, (re)distributed internet with value-added social and expert layers. I cannot wait to see what @arcalinea does. https://twitter.com/...

  Hey, check it out: @bluesky is coming alive, to be led by @arcalinea. I'm super optimistic. https://twitter.com/...

  BlueSky, announced 18 months ago as a Twitter project, announces a new head and a...new project? Don't trust them. True decentralization is contrary to Twitter's business model. https://twitter.com/... | via https://startthis.org/?p=1502

  Either disrupt or be disrupted Good to see Twitter trying to innovate by attempting decentralisation Though, I believe decentralised social will be completely different from the social of today and it would be created by some unknown motivated startup ✌️ https://twitter.com/...

• @rabble @rabble on x

  Excited that @arcalinea is taking the lead to run @twitter's @bluesky project. Decentralized protocol based social media is a future we can build together. https://twitter.com/...

  Over the past year, I've been working closely with a group of thinkers and builders from the decentralized social ecosystem. We published an ecosystem review in January, and my next step will be hiring for the bluesky team.

  I know a lot of people have thought that nothing has been happening with Twitter @bluesky initiative, but there has been a lot going on behind the scenes, and now they've announced that Jay will be leading the project, which is FANTASTIC news. https://twitter.com/...
