Realistically, what’s this mean for Bluesky? If Jack’s out, I’m supposing the writing’s on the wall and there’s not much else to do but write the incredible journey blog.

I... don't see why? Like, he was just a board member, right? It's not particularly clear why him leaving would be a major problem.
My impression was that much of Bluesky’s excitement came from it being the next big thing, from the guy who made Twitter!, which you and I know isn’t accurate, but that’s how a lot of its headlines and blurbs appeared to me.
Tbh, most of the media coverage of it has been "this is the Twitter replacement where we, the journalists, are going, and therefore it is the best Twitter replacement"; if anything I think the Dorsey association was seen as a little embarrassing.

Like, it's hard to see this hurting use.

Huh, you raise a good point. I'd seen plenty of that, too.

I still predict this will play out in the tech press as bad news for Bluesky, if only so that journalists can hope to get credit for their hot take.

He deleted his account a long time ago. If anything, it’s a positive; BlueSky continues to grow.
I, for one, am suddenly much more excited about Bluesky than I was before.
