Leaving the board of directors is pretty much as giving up ownership rights. He has nothing to do with Bluesky anymore and he makes us sure he doesn't want to.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It means he doesn't directly manage it. Proof that he sold his ownership to somebody else would be evidence of giving up ownership rights.

Leaving the board of directors means no day to day control, but he could still exert influence on a shareholders vote.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He's not a shareholder, and also it's a public benefit corporation so shareholders have less power over the board

Equity ownership is not public. Why would he sell?

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks. I'm now about 80% convinced he has no influence.
