Earlier quoted context omitted.

All gone already. Anyone have more?

They still show as unused on my end, but maybe that’s impacted by the outage. Edit: ah, hard refresh of the app fixed that. Sorry!

I can’t use them as well.

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.

I have not looked into it very deeply yet, but as I understand the Bluesky project, this would not be as easy for Bluesky as it is for Twitter and Reddit.

You can use your own domain as your identity. Even when you use a service like bsky.app, you can use @yourdomain.com as your handle. And switch to any other service to publish under the same handle.

But it’s owned by Jack, right? Who’s posting increasingly Musk-level takes on Twitter

Seriously, what is with Silicon Valley people turning into insane cranks over the past year? Is there a ketamine fad causing brain damage among them?

Thanks for this. I had never heard of blue sky. I get to the site and it says they haven’t even launched yet? Maybe an error from all the traffic. Either way, I couldn’t see anything or even sign up for the service.
