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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
If you’re on Mastodon, you might notice new author bylines appearing alongside articles — including those from The Verge.
Click on the byline, and you’ll jump directly to the author’s fediverse account, allowing you to track their work wherever it’s posted.
You can see how author bylines appear beneath articles in this post, which links you to Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko’s profile.
It can also lead to a person’s profile on Threads, Flipboard, WordPress with ActivityPub, PeerTube, and others.
Mastodon is working to open up the feature to more outlets, too, but it currently requires “manual review” to prevent “malicious sites framing users as their authors.” However, Mastodon plans on launching “a self-serve system” to manage the sites authors can appear from in the future.
Even though it’s not widely rolled out just yet, it does seem like a neat way to quickly find out who wrote an article and check out their other work across multiple platforms.
