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.
You must log in or # to comment.
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
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
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
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.
IKR? I’m disappointed that most of my favorite artists went there, instead of something like Mastodon
People like to pretend Mastodon is confusing
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.
This is ridiculous. Please turn in your nerd card.

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?
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.
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.
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.

So…Mastodon…with ads?
i don’t see what similarities to mastodon it has
They built their own federated protocol and it’s a microblog
it isn’t very federal at the moment
Give Gargron time he’ll add ads and buddy up with Meta while signing mystery NDAs
less confusing to sign up and use, nice clean looking app, same look and feel as the OG twitter
You could build all that on top of Mastodon too though. E.g mozilla.social uses Firefox accounts to sign in and the Elk theme.
And equally requires an invite code.
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.
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
Yeah but note by “public” they really mean “if the post doesn’t require you to login”. They recently implemented a feature that lets users choose for their posts to be “public” but still require a login to see it.
Now everyone can see how shit it is.
Still better than Threads
That’s not a very high bar to exceed
Hope you like furries and dicks
Sounds better than Twitter, and I dont care for either one…much
What do y’all think we can learn or adapt from Bluesky’s protocol(s)/innovations?
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.
First time I’m seeing what it looks like. Looks exactly like Twitter.
oh good
the bot is just posting old news again. 🤦♂️
Im curious to check it out in case anyone wants to DM me an invite code.
got one! thanks lemmy
Boooo!
