I'm still amazed that people fell for that old ass artificial scarcity through invite links/codes trick when bluesky became the most popular shitter alternative. Made me question the sanity of some people i otherwise respect. Anyway, even if they made a less optimal decision they atleast left elons fucking nazi platform.

    The people I know that use BlueSky just wanted Twitter without Musk. It wasn’t much more complicated than that and BlueSky has provided that.

    Adding AI is very Musk-like so I’m not surprised there’s backlash.

    Was it artificial scarcity or actual scarcity? Bluesky is and has been orders of magnitude larger then mastodon and scaling to that size probably takes time. If they took all the twitter refugees at once it's probably crash the server.

    The invite codes were a way to throttle users so they didn't suddenly get an explosion overnight they weren't ready for. It's not totally uncommon to have semi-closed test phases. I don't see the problem with them.
