Record sign-ups my ass. I just joined today. Sites dead. Dorsey doesn't even have an account there anymore. Jimmy Wales social media site is doing much better albeit way less people.
Jack Dorsey had an account but he got run off for being an anti-vaccine crypto dork. People just mocked him so he left and went to Nostr where his crowd hangs out. (He’s a significant investor in all of the for-profit ones, including Twitter. He doesn’t run any of them day-to-day, though, so there’s not really any reason for him to be on BlueSky socially.)
Lmao I thought it was cause he got bullied by the 196-crowd but that's equally funny. I always figured him to be the Bluesky main guy so it's kinda weird he isnt active on his own site.
Same. Mine's too lively, but it is fairly heavily skewed towards some specific interests.
I check maybe once a day, but I can't keep up with all that's going on there.
I haven't been on long but it's definitely active.
I guess I gotta find more people. I'll keep posting and see if anything changes.
Care to share an invite?
Weird I signed up to be notified whenever it went active and have never received an invite.
I signed up ages ago too, but I don't think they ever sent them out like that. I got an invite from someone else.
Oh well sounds like I’m not missing much.
Depends on your interests, my feed is too active. It's a lot of shitposting, some academics, journalists, and some just very online people.
A lot of very prolific folks from Twitter moved there.
Have any extra invites?
Sadly, I'm out at the moment.
They did early on. I got one that way when it was mostly developers and the app was basically a super early beta.
It seems like that slowed down when they realized the invite tree is a really good moderation tool. Like if they catch a spammer or CSAM pervert or whatever, they can see who invited them and nip that shit in the bud.
Also, they recently passed 1 million users and the developers said they’ll have to make some backend changes to handle 10 million users. So, they apparently really do need to manage growth and can’t just open it up.
They do send out invites to the waiting list but it definitely don't represent the majority of invites being sent out
