Bluesky posts are finally open to the public::Bluesky remains an invite-only decentralized Twitter alternative, but now, you don’t need to be logged in to be able to see posts on the platform. The app has a new logo, too.
I got my invite and quickly deleted it when I found out that everyone there loved James Gunn and came at me for pointing out he can’t be the flagship celeb to advertise the platform. My notifications blew up for days. It wasn’t worth sticking around getting harassed when I’m not the bad person!
Deleted mine. Nothing ever happened then the big news was some guy from Lockheed Martin was being a sex pest towards women by getting them to pity him, starting to think bluesky doesn’t attract the best people
Can someone explain to me how Bluesky is different than Mastodon and if it’s not different why they bothered creating it when Mastodon exists? I truly don’t get it.
Original Twitter had a shit app, that was always the case too people used third party apps which became a cause for the exodus when that Twat stopped them working.
It’s likely that when Bluesky rolls out in full, advertisers will have the ability to place ads in networks or user interest groups similar to Reddit’s framework. This user self-selection will be extremely useful to businesses running targeted campaigns.
I got my “early” invite code a couple weeks ago and it was pretty cool finding accounts I’d previously followed on Twitter… and seeing how they haven’t posted in months
They missed their chances. When I got the invite a few weeks ago, I did no longer care, because I already switched to Lemmy. There’s no place for Bluesky anymore, they missed the Twitter exodus and the Reddit one. They should’ve send my code years ago but didn’t. Such a fail of a company.
I deleted my Bluesky account because no one who i invited used it. And bluesky invites are not even hot anymore, the last time i posted a bunch online no one grabbed them.
Mastodon and Lemmy fills my void enough i don’t need extra places to go
You can tell that technology is advancing rapidly because now you can type short-form text on the internet and everybody can read it. Truly innovative stuff.
Mastodon is great if you want a social media site that’ll have people shout at you for not putting a Content Warning on a post about you eating a ham sandwich.
Pretend? I’m a computer nerd and I put off signing up for Mastodon for months because of how complicated it is. I completely understand why normies nope the hell off.
As an amateur artist, mastodon is really not friendly to newcomers like me.
I had to figure out what an instance was and pick one (I chose mastodon.art since I was interested in that)
After wondering why I couldn’t find other people’s accounts, it turned out that I shouldn’t have picked that instance because it had defederated from almost anyone else.
So now I had to create another account in another instance, which turned out to be so full my posts were not getting any traction.
With Bluesky I just created an account and I immediately gained a few followers
Disappointed that you’re downvoted, because you’re right.
And it actually made me remember my experience few months ago on that exact same Mastodon instance, mastodon.art–they blocked almost every other instance!!! Even something like kbin.social mind you! I don’t even know why they did it, I think they said something like alt-right content (CMIIW), but in my experience using kbin.social, I’ve never seen those kind of content. The worst thing I’ve seen from kbin.social is just… porn. It’s a good instance over all
Sometimes I think defederation is what’s going to ruin fediverse. I get that it’s necessary, but if done like this, it’s a bad thing.
I think if I’m gonna recommend Mastodon, I’m going to just recommend them the most popular instance. IMO the best thing about fediverse is that many different instance can talk to eachother, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to be “centralized”
Mastodon.art is well-known for being trigger-happy at blocking and usually even frame false accusations, their trch.lgbt block has made people lose any trust on them, but there are still people still think they are doing good while in fact they cause more harm tho
I don’t get the hate, I’ve been there for a year and the place is pretty cool with many writers and artists that aren’t on Mastodon. It feels like twitter on the good days. Maybe if you curate your friend list better you would get a better timeline?
Thankfully it’s not a vibe. Sad state of affairs that questions like that even have to exist nowadays… I wish it was still shocking to run across and not oh yeah, that’s Uncle Frank for ya.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Who cares? Just use Twitter. Anyone who is anyone is on twitter.
Now everyone can see how shit it is.
Still better than Threads
That’s not a very high bar to exceed

Boooo!
First time I’m seeing what it looks like. Looks exactly like Twitter.
They missed their chances. When I got the invite a few weeks ago, I did no longer care, because I already switched to Lemmy. There’s no place for Bluesky anymore, they missed the Twitter exodus and the Reddit one. They should’ve send my code years ago but didn’t. Such a fail of a company.
Sounds like someone’s upset they weren’t invited earlier lol.
Do any of the babies downvoting want invites? Figured I’d offer out of charity.
Lol

What do y’all think we can learn or adapt from Bluesky’s protocol(s)/innovations?
You can tell that technology is advancing rapidly because now you can type short-form text on the internet and everybody can read it. Truly innovative stuff.
I wonder if it’ll catch on only to get destroyed by political operatives and bots
I wonder why they keep their platform so closed off. It’ll never ever go anywhere if people can’t even use it.
All it has to do is copy Twitter when it was good some years ago, and do it very reliably. That’s it.
I got sent an invite ages ago. I’ve jumped in every so often but I am always shocked by how crap it is. Mastodon is so much better.
Mastodon is great if you want a social media site that’ll have people shout at you for not putting a Content Warning on a post about you eating a ham sandwich.
IKR? I’m disappointed that most of my favorite artists went there, instead of something like Mastodon
People like to pretend Mastodon is confusing

It is just not worth the hastle.

No edit post, no deal.
I have 4 invite codes, slide into my DMs if you want one.Updte 01/01/2024 22:54 All codes have been claimed
How’s the Nazi vibe over there?
Thankfully it’s not a vibe. Sad state of affairs that questions like that even have to exist nowadays… I wish it was still shocking to run across and not oh yeah, that’s Uncle Frank for ya.
I heard it was really bad over there
