Hey folks. I have some invites. If anyone would like one, please let me know. While I feel for developers who may need an extra account for testing purposes or folks who want a second account for any reason, I'm setting them aside for those who don't already have an account. Basically, I'm following the @mmasnick model here (no trolls, spammers, etc).

Re-upping my offer of invites.

I'm one of the many still waiting for an invite… If someone has a spare, I'd appreciate it

@dirkhh @mmasnick Did you already get one? I have some.

@jasonekratz@social.lol @mmasnick @Popehat I'm referring to when growth inevitably slows down and they have to become genuinely profitable/sustainable. Will they stay or just sell Bluesky to another Elon Musk and receive their golden parachutes? Corporations (especially tech companies) seem to prefer playing an endless game of hot potato rather than operating a sustainable business.

Again, I wonder if Bluesky servers will be entirely independent or be glorified Discord servers(i.e. still centralized)?

@WaddlingFungus @jasonekratz@social.lol @mmasnick @Popehat The code is open source and there are several projects going on to create new services that will be able to federate with BlueSky main.
