American billionaire social network behaves like American billionaire social network…**pretends to be shocked**
Every single action the Bluesky team makes shows just how out of touch with and openly hostile to their user base the heads are.
Every single one? Really?
Name 5 others…?
Removing an anti-harassment law specifically so Jesse Singal doesn’t get banned, then going on a ban wave against prominent transgender people, then responding to backlash over THAT with that fucking “WAFFLES” tweet, then revealing the platform is vibe-coded and the lead dev getting super pissed off when people started connecting the dots towards why the platform is so fucking unstable all the time and somehow we don’t have images on DMs, then-
I’m still amazed that people fell for that old ass artificial scarcity through invite links/codes trick when bluesky became the most popular shitter alternative. Made me question the sanity of some people i otherwise respect. Anyway, even if they made a less optimal decision they atleast left elons fucking nazi platform.
The invite codes were a way to throttle users so they didn’t suddenly get an explosion overnight they weren’t ready for. It’s not totally uncommon to have semi-closed test phases. I don’t see the problem with them.
