Right? I can't help but wonder if he's planning on doing something in the fediverse in some way. It'd be interesting to see a bunch of ex-twitter folks boot up a crowdfunded mastodon instance.

If you’re not aware, that’s basically exactly what Jack (and team) are currently working on [0][1]. 1. https://blueskyweb.org/ 2. https://atproto.com/

Interesting. I hope this ends up being a pull request or somesuch on activitypub, rather than a standalone competing standard. They're right that migration is a problem on activitypub atm, though I'm not sure there's a good way to build it into the protocol. Maybe have a server tag a couple of others as trusted backups?

This was downvoted but refers to the second part of parent's comment:

Don't know about crowdfunded, but this instance is for ex-twitter employees.

Because he appears to be pragmatic and understands the benefits of open standards.

But he was at the helm of Twitter for how long? He had the opportunity to pursue all those things. Musk and Darsey’s text message thread was just two billionaires convincing themselves they’re as smart as they think they are.

But only after becoming rich on closed-standard Twitter while also enacting artificial barriers for third-party clients along the way?

I get the sense that Dorsey played Musk hard. Musk heard what he wanted to hear, and Dorsey walked away with a cool billion. Musk is wrecking the place and laying the ground for the next thing, which Dorsey was already working on.

Except Dorsey left his billion with Musk https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-saves-elon-musk-...

So, those two played each other? And the Twitter board was the laughing third party?
