Vignesh Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 I have serious FOMO. Somebody send me an invite code pls. Thank you.
Europe Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Even if it flops, it's good to give Twitter competition. It is healthy and might make Elon get himself together.

Monster Megamind Posted May 13, 2023 Author Posted May 13, 2023 I've created an account there. It is still very early days because it is still on beta. There is not even an iPad os version! You can post photos but not gifs or videos. It going to take a good 3 months for all features to come. Also there are lots of leftists there and as a liberal, I know there are going to be fights in the future. One positive is that trans people have a safe space on bsky, at least for now...

Read the email properly. There must be a code. You cannot login without an invite code.
Lost In Paradise Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 anyone have an invite to spare? I’ll send n**dz
HeavyMetalAura Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 I left Twitter because it’s become a far-right echo-chamber and I’d LOVE an alternative, but I don’t want the alternative to be a far-left echo-chamber. Is it so hard to create a platform that is well moderated enough to combat misinformation and hate speech, but otherwise be a free-flowing marketplace of ideas?
futurenostalgic Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 LIke i'm fine with tumblr. i don't need these apps
Stimulus Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 There's a lot of hype behind Bluesky and I hope it takes off. The founder of Twitter is on its board of directors, and Bluesky is starting to look like what Twitter would be if it had a second chance to fix itself before Elon Musk took over. Mastodon is still a great social network for people looking for smaller communities. It will still be there for those who want it, whether Bluesky succeeds or not.
wanderlust Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 If anyone has an invite left they're not gonna use I'd really like one..

Breathe On Moi Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 what’s the point of creating a platform that already mimics popular platforms? to be massive you have to give something the others aren’t.. this is giving alternative to Craigslist hook-up posting

It is pretty much twitter 2.0 and is backed by the same guy who created twitter. Some of the bluesky staff have already been catching heat and having issues with moderation, as more new users join the platform, who have views that don't exactly align with the views that majority of bluesky users have on the app. In the future, I can see bluesky suffering with the same issues twitter is having now. I have no clue how they will stop that. Atm, they can use the "it's only in beta" excuse, but once it's open for everyone, uh... goodluck. I'd like to see a completely new and fresh platform take out twitter.
