We’re thrilled to announce that Mike Masnick has joined Bluesky’s Board of Directors. He is the author of the Protocols, not Platforms paper that first inspired the Bluesky initiative, and he is the founder and editor of Techdirt, among other accomplishments. Mike has been an early supporter of Bluesky’s mission to create a global, open social network, as full of possibility as the early web. In the past, we’ve gone to Mike for inspiration and advice already, and formalizing that relationship is the natural next step. His deep understanding of our approach — iterating towards widespread adoption while enabling trust & safety in a decentralized system — makes him an invaluable addition to our board. As Bluesky’s network of more than 6 million users continues to grow, we’re excited to tap into Mike’s expertise as a reporter, editor and publisher. His familiarity with how policy, technology, and legal issues affect a company’s ability to innovate and grow is directly relevant to Bluesky, an open social network challenging incumbents who have kept innovation locked behind closed doors for the last decade. “Mike's work has been an inspiration to us from the start,” says Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky. “Having him join our board feels like a natural progression of our shared vision for a more open internet. His perspective will help ensure we're building something that truly serves users as we continue to evolve Bluesky and the AT Protocol.” Mike shares his enthusiasm below: “I’m excited to join the Bluesky board and to support its vision of building an open social network. Over the last few years, I’ve been thrilled to see how the Bluesky team has turned these ideas into reality, and I look forward to helping the company continue to build a better internet.” Mike’s balanced perspective and strong advocacy for open networks will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Bluesky and the AT Protocol.
