Doesn't seem as though you have a publicly linked email, could you maybe provide another venue of contacting you? Would love to try out bluesky

Edit: Removed email. For everyone else who sent an email, I'll send a code along your way as soon as I get more. Do sign up for the waitlist if you can.

Thank you for the response, I've sent an email!

Sorry, is there an actual article with a real URL somewhere? Because this just goes to a lock screen going "create an account", so either everyone who upvoted this has a bluesky account, or the post got locked down and it's no longer information. It's just a gate.

Not sure I'm going to click on something called skeeet.xyz, especially not if, looking it up, that's just another redirector

The guarantee is that the AT protocol doesn’t work that way. They literally could not, technically. You own your data, the entire protocol is built around that basic fact.

Nothing stops them from changing the protocol. It's like insisting blockchain transactions are immutable when Etherium issues updates all the time to reverse transactions that happened due to hacks.

Why waste your time and others posting lies on the internet? Easily debunked ones at that.

What's funny is that while Twitter wants you to log in and goes at great length to prevent you from reading anything when not logged in, the situation is exactly the other way round with Bluesky. They limit who can sign in, but openly publish all data via their API. So one could use an AT protocol client to read, or a web based client like this one: https://firesky.tv/ I just made an account, let's see how this thing…

No guarantee they don’t change this when they get bigger and shift from user acquisition to revenue & profitability. Bluesky is VC funded and there’s expectations of revenue growth down the line.

BlueSky is a Public Benefit LLC btw

When I go to the link above, all I'm seeing is "Create an account / Sign in". No post or anything. Sure it might be accessible via API but they have the same login wall as Twitter on the website.
