I will be offering one bluesky code at this time to the first person to PM me a request for one with the following asks, though they are not enforceable by me it would be appreciated.

  1. Behave yourself, If you act poorly I will not be given additional invite codes.
  2. Pay it forward somewhere, invite codes are supplied to active Bluesky accounts every 10 days, though depending on standing it may be more frequent.
  3. If you're comfortable with it, consider following me and I'll follow you back! Entirely optional, I'll include my bluesky handle in any message containing a code.
I will update here when the code is exhausted.

Not exactly. It's the only palatable Twitter spinoff at the moment.

Problem is that if you need invites in order to access it, it can never replace Twitter. Elon Musk still rules social media until then, sadly.

The plan is to eventually open it up for everyone. Though I'm not sure what the holdup is.

Yeah they are still scaling so I find it understandable. A few days back they had problems with images loading, and before that uploading issues happened for a few hours. They are definitely struggling to scale even with the invite system. I think if they just straight opened it, the entire platform would melt down.

Hopefully as time goes on their engineers are able to handle an open registration.

Oh well, as long as that quasi-nazi who let Donald Trump keep his account isn't anywhere near the project I'm fine with it.

Elon did also piss off a lot of jewish people recently. I had a bunch of friend requests/interactions from the community, presumably from their exodus from Twitter over the past few days/week.

As for alternatives he hasn't had a hand in, I would consider a Mastodon instance that matches your values.

I also have a Mastodon account on an instance that I contribute to monthly and it's been very rewarding interacting with the community, which has been a pretty wholesome experience thus far.

The reason why I say bluesky is the only palatable Twitter alternative is mainly down to the user interface replicating Twitter well, along with the community being decent. Unfortunately Mastodon doesn't do well to replicate the feel of Twitter.

Open registration was closed because it couldn't handle the rush of everyone fleeing Twitter. It won't be that way forever.

If anyone wants a tweetdeck like experience, there's a website that's called https://www.deck.blue that has that functionality. I would recommend setting up an app password on bluesky first.

https://bsky.app/search/feeds is a good place to start. Definitely search for ones that match your interest, add them and start networking with people that way. Feeds typically pick up on keywords so people still use hashtags to appear in the feeds.
