     I almost ran Twitter's Bluesky project. Got very close. Had interviews with the then CEO (Jack Dorsey) and CTO (Parag Agrawal) at the time. Can you imagine?

     Pre-transition. Pardon the deadname. But I found the slides. Here you go, lol https://dustycloud.org/tmp/spritely-bluesky.pdf

     I guess it's not surprising. Overexcited nonbinary weirdo waving their arms so excitedly about what the future *should be* and telling everyone point-blank what they were doing wrong. Oh well.

     This is all pre Spritely Institute. *Not* getting this is largely what lead Randy Farmer and I to start our own nonprofit: https://spritely.institute

     So hey. Maybe it's for the best. FWIW they suggested maybe Jay Graber (who did get it, and is great) and I should connect and see if we wanted to work together, and we did, but Jay and I agreed that Spritely was trying to be more ambitious than her vision and should be its own thing.

     At any rate, I was quiet about this for a long time but it's an interesting piece of history so... there you go.

     James Broadhead repeated this.
