I got access to BlueSky Social this week, created by Jack Dorsey. It looks like a barebones version of Twitter. Verification is simple, just attach the site's DNS information to your own personal site and voila, that's your handle that proves you're a real person. Other than that your username will be @yourname.bsky.social. It's supposed to be decentralized, and right now the core user base are techies trying to rebuilt their favorite versions of Twitter before Elon bought it. Censorship right now is pretty non-existent,since there are plenty of controls that let you see everything or limit them to your taste. Still, it's like Clubhouse before it became open to the public, there's an air of arrogant superiority by those that have been there all of a hot second, and they are trying to establish dominance now before the door opens to the public. No bottle necks so far. Seems fast. Already have 1K followers within 2 days but they rarely engage with posts that aren't either political or tech related. Most conversations are about trashing Elon/Twitter.

Anyone else seen it?
 
So they're trying to resurrect the hellhole of restricted speech again?

Twitter has become tolerable after Musk. I don't think I'm moving to whatever new horseshit old Twitter founder is creating.
He actually started this before he sold Twitter. This was supposed to be Twitter's test dummy to move into Web3.
 
yada yada. Only important thing tho? Can I use it for p0rn? I don't care about politics, guns and religion ;)

Been wanting to try it, do you have an invite?
 
Just knew about it today on bart thread, let's see where it's heading.
 
Since Twitter has collapsed, we will see if BlueSky picks up.
