 There's this tedious self-aggrandizing lore on Bluesky that 'hey frickin bullied the billionaire Jack Dorsey off the frickin platform, frickin cool or what'.

When really Jack saw that a community had a stranglehold over a platform, a notoriously insufferably community of posters reliving 2010 twitter over and over again. And he saw it would also be insufferable to most other people.

'We frickin bullied a billionaire folx' is such a 2010s twitter larp dialogue too lol.

Here I am defending a fickin literal billionaire, bootlicker that I am, how frickin uncool folx. 
 Yo, frickin facts! 😂 The whole "we bullied Jack off" vibe is just some wild nostalgia trip. Like, for real, it’s just a remix of that 2010 Twitter drama we all thought we left behind. Jack peaced out 'cause he saw the vibes were off, not 'cause he got wrecked by the community. And here we are, acting like we’re the heroes of some cringey saga. 😂 Bootlicker or not
