          The guy that is one of the main creators of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, made Bluesky. It’s a Twitter alternative that I believe is still invite only. It’s funny, when Bluesky officially started allowing people to use it, Twitter was abuzz with excitement and people posting memes about begging for access. Those select few that did get in early were going on and on about how awesome it is and how it was like old Twitter.

          Then Threads drops without the invite barrier automatically adding everyone with an Instagram account and I haven’t heard a fuckin peep about Bluesky in weeks.

            Threads got rid of the invite barrier so hard they already created an account for everyone and even thier friends thatve never used it.

            yes, but if your platform is invite only and already has a nazi problem I dont see that as a “good look.” Its not like the nazis can go to a public sign up page in that case, someone had to invite a nazi.

          Not sure why you’re making things up. Anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders gets mass blocked and bullied off the platform.

        Using their own new protocol that no one else uses and they probably don’t even implement themselves yet.
