Jack Dorsey backs an open-source development collective with $10 million


The 'and Other Stuff' team is working on projects built on the likes of Nostr and ActivityPub.

The "and Other Stuff" collective aims to support Nostr's "transition from an experimental protocol to a widely adopted, sustainable ecosystem through collaborative growth and funding." Last year, after leaving Bluesky's board, Dorsey claimed that the team there was"literally repeating all the mistakes" he made while running Twitter such as, uh, setting up moderation tools (which are, in reality, a critically important aspect of any successful social platform). On an episode of Henshaw-Plath's new podcast, Dorsey reiterated a point he had made previously, that Twitter was beholden to advertisers (an issue that X is contending with under Elon Musk's ownership).
