Posts, profiles, and user search are now available without login

Too late, IMO. The invite-only system meant that the "leave Twitter" crowd split between Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon. IMO none of them have ended up being great replacements.

If anyone from Twitter I know is reading this and wants an invite code ask me via Mastodon DM or email.

They've been far too slow to respond to Twitter/X's missteps to be able to take advantage. Threads won that race by a wide margin, even if it is still relatively lacking in features.

Judging by the traffic traces (number of comments on popular posts), I’d have to agree.

Does anyone actually use threads? Everyone seemed to go check it out, but I don't know anyone actively using it.

Wow!

Im amazed at how fast and pretty Bluesky is compared to other web applications, especially Twitter's.
