alan mustache: this place will take off any day now

this place will take off any day now

I’m having a great time with it

300 thousand people logged on to say "what's up bluesky" and immediately logged off

Some people just aren’t posters

As evidenced by the metrics

in hindsight launching without DMs or video may have been a mistake

Yeah, wouldn’t have minded it staying invite only until more feature complete

still no GCs, has kept a lot away

literally took me a full minute to realize "GCs" was meant to stand for "group chats" and not "gendercrits"

More should embrace the public hellthread method

seems clear that the priority was having certain very specific elements of the technical infrastructure in place first (federation & whatnot), which, sure? myself I would have prioritized Poasting

(that said I enjoy this place way, WAY more than whatever twitter is now, and I think the bluesky team has done very fine work overall)

No viable future exists while Twitter lives

tbh it's more stable than I would have thought

if twitter ever actually does follow through on their 'we're your bank now' thing this'll change fast, because only the truly, repulsively hopeless will hand over their govt IDs and anonymity to that guy to keep posting

It's plenty busy to me

i knew my dad was lying when he said i wasn’t unique

was that spike truck chris day??

i think that's around when they made it public

i like my version better

Something halfway between modern social media and a big old school forum is actually what I’m looking for though. Millions of users would kill the vibe.

tf happened in feb? was that when invites got removed?

Yes.
