ShoqI keep hearing this about Dorsey, and while I suspect it’s probably true, I’ve still not seen any evidence of it. Does anyone know of any?

Barry Parr@TammyGentzel @shoq the wording of that ownership statement is weird. is Jack Dorsey a member of “the Bluesky team”? How much of Bluesky does he own? Who else is on “the Bluesky team”?
shreyan@barryparr @TammyGentzel @shoq He doesn't own any of it, he is not on the team, and other members of the team include Paul Frazee, Bryan Newbold,
@shreyan @TammyGentzel @shoq What's your source? This isn't clear at all in the from Bluesky's public statements. Saying the team "includes" people means there may be others on the team who are not public. I'm not trying to be tendentious, but Bluesky has never been clear about this.
@barryparr @shreyan @shoq My source was Bluesky. I quoted directly frm this page: https://blueskyweb.xyz/faq
The information on that page about ownership and governance is vague and scattered among multiple sources -- not even specific pages. There is no specific info about who calls the shots:
