The invite only thing feels like a real Google+ throwback.

pretty normal for new services ramping up just dont want to overheat the servers and so forth

yeah to be fair i don't think this is a marketing thing. running a twitter-like service is hard operationally. they've set up invites so they will double in users every two weeks, which is already pretty fast.

wild to release a site without dms the one thing all sites need
to be clear bluesky doesn't have dms or a way to block people yet, so it's not actually ready for primetime— your himbo boyfriend (@swolecialism) April 27, 2023

This is how I feel. I tried Mastodon; I didn't like it. I joined a couple of Discord servers; I don't like those. I use Substack Notes because I'm communicating with people who already subscribe to my newsletter, so that makes sense to me. But Bluesky seems to be attracting a lot of the people I hate on Twitter, so fuck that.

he's on the board but i don't think he owns more than a small stake, and unless things have changed for him he never does anything or picks up the phone or attends board meetings ever.
