Waffle lady is out, a Mullenweg acolyte is taking over.
Whelp may be trying to come back here full time. #Bluesky just got taken over by a venture capitalist so full enshitification is on its way soon.
Sooo bluesky is going mask-off VC. You can almost set your watch by this stuff. #bluesky #social #enshittification

Prepare yourselves for the full-throttle enshittification of #BlueSky.
Bluesky CEO Steps Down As Platform Pursues Operational Scaling

#Bluesky is lucky to have Toni as an interim CEO. He was the first CEO I ever actually enjoyed working under. He focussed on how the product is only as good as the employees are allowed to be.

Era piuttosto chiamata. Ma non pensavo sarebbe successo così in fretta…
L’esperienza della community BlackSky fa ben sperare in un futuro dove ATProto rimane indipendente da BlueSky. Ma più aumentano gli utenti e più sarà difficile staccarsi completamente e decentralizzare la rete
Not that I can even use #BlueSky for more than a couple of days at a time before getting suspended, but...welp at least one of my nemeses there is gone, CEO Jay Graber: https://mastodon.social/@Techpedo/116200904522770641
Or to be more accurate, she's being kicked into a corner entitled CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER.
"Chief Innovation Officer". Gawd-a-mercy. Is there anything even remotely innovative about BlueSky? It's basically just trying to repeat the Twitter formula only with more smarmy insincerity and (very slightly) less obvious fascist sympathy.
#BlueSky CEO Jay Graber announced that she is resigning. Toni Schneider, former CEO of Automattic (WordPress maker) and partner at True Ventures, will replace her https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-09-2026-a-new-chapter-for-bluesky
“As Bluesky matures, the company needs a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution, while I return to what I do best: building new things.” Scaling, better execution, and innovation are exactly what #Bluesky needs. Hopefully this arrangement will allow everyone to do what they’re best at. 🦋
