Overview
- Bluesky’s board has begun a search for a permanent chief executive with Schneider leading in the interim and Graber remaining on the board.
- Graber’s new position centers on the technology stack and long-term protocol architecture rather than business operations.
- The company reports about 43 million users and an ecosystem of more than 500 active apps built on the AT Protocol.
- Schneider will continue as a partner at True Ventures and previously served as CEO of Automattic, both investors in Bluesky.
- As it scales, Bluesky faces moderation pressures and compliance with state age-assurance laws, including a Mississippi block and age verification in Ohio, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
