       When Jack first started talking about Bluesky, in the very early phases it involved the blockchain. I remember suggesting that I thought the reason he liked the idea was that he could theoretically build a version of Twitter where no tweets could ever be deleted, and therefore there'd be no pressure on him to moderate or ban anyone. He wanted to not have the power.People always thought I misunderstood Jack's motivations but it turns out I was right about him all along.https://www.engadget.com/jack-dorsey-claims-bluesky-is-repeating-all-the-mistakes-he-made-at-twitter-234326121.html

       @rodhilton for sure, Jack was always very upfront about that. If people were pushing back to you it's probably because they weren't reading the original sources.My read is that he has some weird, combination Buddhist and libertarian, idea about free speech. The idea that everybody publishes and everybody else just filters seems to satisfy him. It might of course be a lot of work for the filterers.

       @John @rodhilton Even Buddhist Libertarians can read books on the subject of propaganda, disinformation, and how it impacted historical events. Start with a biography of Goebbels and how he & his wife ended up murdering their own children in a bunker.That's how poisonous lies can get...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goebbels_childrenIt is implausible that Jack Dawsey is this naive about the role of disinformation on his social media platforms.
