Lol. Ty for that. After Jack Dorsey falling in love with Nostr, still dont understand very well what he wants with BlueSky.
If is just an copy of twitter, why not make it more freely with less information about people?
OK maybe that happens to avoid bots and spam accounts, but still.....
Took too long. It's the opposite of a blitzkrieg.
He should have gone all-out earlier.. Now he's lost any momentum he could have had, and everyone is using other things that built up a community in that time
Yeah, this is not the way to roll out a social media platform anymore. You've gotta get critical mass as fast as humanly possible. When twittermusk happened and bluesky popped up shortly thereafter, I put in a request for invitation. Later, I joined the fediverse, moved on to other things, and several months ago, I got an email informing me that I can finally join bluesky! How exciting, but I had already moved on with my life and was no longer interested in trying their platform. I didn't even click the link.
Mhm, why do I need an account to browse their stuff? Mastodon nor lemmy or kbin instances don't require a signup to facilitate that?
FOMO
ah yeah of course, nothing screams openness and social better than playing with fear and asocial concepts...
