They glossed over the bit where you sit around waiting years for a bluesky invite because you are not cool enough.

@blitzar I don't know you, so please forgive my assumptions here...but, you're cool enough that you don't need to wait for bluesky to send you an invite...You don't need them. In fact, if anything, they're artificially creating the scarcity, because the fact is: they need you more. Instead, take a plunge into the the Fediverse, where you can make your own party and you do the inviting of others...or join others on some instance that has open invites, and open (virtual) arms. Think of bluesky or other silos like a single apartment party. Maybe its cool and if you dig it, then that's cool; you do you. But, the greater fediverse - where mastodon and other networks live - is like a major awesome block party of multiple apartments, and all of them spilling their parties out into the street mixing fun up in all sorts of ways. But, no pressure, and fuss no muss. Remember: they need you more than you need their invite. ;-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

How is that a point of contention?

> Seems fine to me. 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

As a casual twitter user I've had no issues prior to last week. The throttling was the first thing that has impacted my experience since Musk took over. It seems like your own assessment of twitter comes from a very emotional place and not from personal experience using it.

Or that some of us aren't casual users who are ignorant/indifferent to what is happening.

On the other hand Nostr is instantaneous to join, no email required either. Edit: start on https://hamstr.to/home

Then: click the door icon at the bottom, and create account.

Then: find people to follow. (How can I find people to follow? How can I add them to my hamster?)

Will Bluesky have ads and sell your user data?

Yes. They raised $8m in seed round which means they are on the VC track.

And Twitter Blue has shown there isn't enough revenue from anything other than an ad-supported model to support a VC scale business.

"Deviant" is, in this context, almost certainly a code word for "trans".

Own what you mean. Be bold.
