What did you do, go to the homepage for 20 seconds to make that in-depth assessment on something very widely-reported for nine straight months now as an ever-engulfing dumpster fire?

It is not fine, take your pick: questionable leadership, wanton firings, bad policies, abuse/harassment, technical problems, legal trouble, fleeing advertisers

It's a small boom, where anonymous and free API access have been cut off. Although I'm pretty sure you can't access or scrape Threads and bluesky anonymously and/or without cost either.

Actually, one of the big points of contention right now over at bluesky is how easily anyone can easily anonymously scrape all its data. Behold, one of many available sites that broadcast the firehose: https://firesky.tv/

Currently the only thing that costs money at bluesky is using your own domain name but making them manage the DNS for this so you don't have to.

On the other hand Nostr is instantaneous to join, no email required either.

Edit: start on https://hamstr.to/home

There are plenty of invites going around. I've been on Bluesky for about a month now and have gotten half a dozen invites. The thing that is, however, making Bluesky a genuinely pleasant place to hang out, even despite its size (it's getting relatively large for pleasantness!) is that the invite code system requires that, even with that large number of invite codes, somebody wants to see your posts . It is a pretty s…

> Somebody wants to see your posts

Unless you buy an invite code on eBay.
