Why the heck is Bluesky still invite only?
Truly I do not understand why they are not even attempting to advantage of their competition actively driving people away. And they have history of Google+ to reflect on! But they're making the same mistake.
- jatins 3y agoHonestly Bluesky is more obsessed with Twitter and Musk than probably Twitter itself. I spend a few days on there after getting the invite and didn't enjoy the experience. Every other post was making fun of Twitter/Musk and for some reason there's a lot of furry porn there.
- dralley 3y agoI wouldn't know, because Bluesky doesn't let anyone just sign up. I'm sure the invite-only nature produces a lot of interest bubbles.
- berkes 3y agoBluesky and also the Fediverse are Open Platforms¹. That means your toot or post reaches anyone including those who want to train AI. An open platform and open protocol makes it harder to prohibit AI bots from ingesting your published thoughts than when on a private, centralised service. Mastodon, the fediverse, Bluesky, are really enabling AI learning more than prohibiting it. ¹ well, BSKY is really still just a single server.
- m3kw9 3y agoYou on a platform for content or just there because their system is nice?
- dralley 3y agoNeither, I just want a usable alternative to Twitter that isn't Facebook and has a chance of not being used only by techies.
- davidbarker 3y agoI have a few invites spare — email me: david [at] davidbarker.me and I'll send one over.
