Neither they nor Masto were ready for the scale at the time. Mastodon had a lot of difficulty -- servers were slow and broken for a while.
BlueSky was also not a practical Twitter replacement for a lot of people until a few weeks (!) ago when they finally added video support.
Also, have you not seen the latest user growth stats on BlueSky? Apparently it took the total destruction of the United States postwar consensus to achieve people finally abandoning Twitter en masse, but hey, it's happening in the past week or so.
- Uvix 2y agoNo, I haven't. That's disappointing. I would have hoped people would have taken BlueSky at their word when they were told they weren't wanted.

When you're waitlisted for an app that has limited capacity, you take it as not being "wanted"? Of course they want you! They're just building capacity so that you can have a good experience once they're ready to send you the invite. Don't worry -- you are wanted!
- Uvix 2y agoWhen I'm waitlisted for a year? Yes, I do.
