<p>Dorsey formally announced Bluesky in 2019 during his tenure as CEO of Twitter, expressing the long-term aim for Twitter to become a client of this standard. In a Twitter thread, Dorsey outlined the company’s decision to support the decentralized social network as a means to address issues such as the spread of misinformation and the use of recommendation algorithms that limit user choice.</p> 
<p>Bluesky officially established itself as a public benefit LLC separate from Twitter in 2021. To date, the social network has secured over $20 million in funding from Neo, Joe Beda, Bob Young, and dozens of other backers. </p>
