New job opening at Bluesky (part-time; multiple positions available).

“Looking for useful idiots to legitimize us so we can achieve network effects before we screw over our user base.

Right candidate can state ‘I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt’ in public with a straight face in full knowledge that we’re a Silicon Valley outfit backed by the founder of Twitter.

Previous work on Web 2.0/3.0 essential.

Similar positions available at #Nostr.”

@aral that's asking a lot. Not sure the benefits outweigh the overall feeling of embarrassment.

@aral
Oh just noticed that this is an old post, but it reminded me about last night's #TwitterSpaces #DeBacle.

I bet that new CEO must be glad she'd not already started. I expect that ELoon would have fired her in order to try to deflect blame from himself.
