    “Public benefit corporation” is such an oxymoron, I know it’s cliché to say this but it reads like something out of 1984.

    If your goal is truly to benefit the public, why wouldn’t you start a non-profit? It’s because they want profits, which will always be at odds with the interests of the public.

      Because your non-profit isn’t likely to go anywhere; Capitalists don’t give significant money to non-profits, but they’ll invest in a public benefit corporation because of the potential for profit. The corporation can then take their money and use it for whatever public benefit it intends to work towards. It’s a workaround to try and scrape some benefit to society out of capital, that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

      Whether Bluesky is actually a good example of a public benefit corporation or not, I have no idea, I don’t use it.
