I hate to break it to Bloomberg, but this was posted to both nostr and X. One of those seems more likely than the other to be "freedom technology". A cynic might say that they knew full well, and took advantage of the ambiguity.

Realistically, what’s this mean for Bluesky? If Jack’s out, I’m supposing the writing’s on the wall and there’s not much else to do but write the incredible journey blog.

Wth I was just binging atp.fm and I am currently on the topic of the twitter exodus and bluesky/mastodon alternatives and this news drops.

Direct quote from Xitter:

> don’t depend on corporations to grant you rights. defend them yourself using freedom technology.

> (you’re on one)

Which is strange since I don't think X actually federates, and its "free speech" seems a mix of pay-to-play and "don't speak ill of the king".

Perhaps Dorsey was cross posting from BlueSky? Or he made nice with Musk and is trying to throw him a bone?

Could he be speaking of "the web"?
