Let’s see here… ahh yes, it’s a company run by a board with a CEO based in Amerika. Who gives a shit if it’s non-profit or not, the users are not in control. No thanks.

It’s also very much not non-profit.

You’re right, I guess the original thing by Jack Dorsey (Bluesky Protocol) was non-profit, but since becoming its own entity it is for-profit now. I conflated the two.
They consider themselves a Benefit Corporation, which I just learned is likely for-profit pretending to be socially aware.

Yeah I think “benefit company” is the most bullshit thing ever invented
