They have over 1.8 million users currently, or do you mean PDSes specifically? Federation is in open beta on a test network, you can try it out today if you'd like.
- raverbashing 3y agoCome on, "over 1.8 million users" is not an impressive number These kind of movements makes me think they're not serious about scaling up. Wouldn't surprise me if then end up as an also-ran
- pmontra 3y agoMaybe not impressive but none of the services of my customers had or has 1.8 million users. And yet they do well (my customers.)
- rapnie 3y agoThat. And none of the big social media platforms were big at the start either.
- raverbashing 3y agoYes but 1.8Mi at a time where people are longing for a Twitter alternative is just leaving money on the table
- pmontra 3y agoThere are two usual strategies for growing: 1) low cost, organic and slow or 2) high cost, throw a lot of money at advertisement, saturate all media, grow quickly or bust. The exceptions are those rare products that despite a low cost marketing sell themselves so well that their organic growth is fast and in a few months everybody use them. Maybe Bluesky don't have the money to advertise or is not compelling enough. As one data point: I know about Mastodon but I think that I learned about Bluesky only today. I went to their site and there is nothing to explain how it works except that it's some social thing. I learned more by reading the comments here. Apparently it's being marketed at a very low cost.
- Tomte 3y agoI have been on the wait list since they launched. They seem to mostly rely on invites.
- soperj 3y agoIt shouldn't be too difficult to find an invite? They hand them out pretty frequently.
- FlyingSnake 3y agoI’ve some invites lying around. DM me if you want one.
- bugsmith 3y agoI'd like to take you up on that, if you still have one going?
