seems like the owners/employees have basically been bullied off their own platform. apart from one SWE they've completely stopped posting. truly outstanding effort from the userbase.

Not a screenshot but: the post is from a bsky team technical advisor that says “Some of that Blue.” with a photo of a blue sky with which is just not remotely helpful.

I almost went back to LiveJournal after seeing my posts from the 2000s and missing writing in paraphernalia, and then I found it was owned by Russians and…subject to Russian law.

"I joined ello but lord only knows when I was last on it or if the account still exists"
the app still exists, so I assume the network does (I think I wound up deleting it, but I would occasionaly open it up as recently as a year ago and see just random images). Confusingly Ello is also now the name of a more high profile reading app that has nothing to do with old Ello.

yeah i don't want to post mine here because you're nominally repsonsible for who you invite and people get banned if their invites misbehave but i have a few. ilxmail me if you need one.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Thursday, 3 August 2023 17:53 (ten months ago) link
I'm not even sure how my ilxmail works. Is that just the address I used to originally sign up/register? My login ID? How do I change that without re-registering?

No, that didn't do it. When I send an email (to myself) through that portal, by clicking on my screen name, it just sends to my original login ID, which is an old email address. But when I try to change that old login address to a new login address, my current email, it logs me out, because it no longer matches the one associated with the password. Hmm.

I'm not nominally responsible enough to give a fuck about this platform or any of the people on it, anything online where you need invites to access it is for wankers, apart from private torrent sites - I don't make the rules.
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 5 August 2023 01:44 (ten months ago) link
I'd never lower myself to ask for a fucking invite code and then get precious about who you are going to give them to. Ohh can't have any riff raff here. It's a site for snobby supercilious wankers - lol, even worse than this one!

― mookieproof, Saturday, 5 August 2023 02:15 (ten months ago) link
Haha, funny posts. To be fair to them though, it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of infrastructure for a site like Twitter/Bluesky to run – as it is whenever there is a flood of new people the site starts to stop loading posts etc.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 5 August 2023 08:22 (ten months ago) link
Yeah, it is notably sluggish at the best of times.
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Saturday, 5 August 2023 12:13 (ten months ago) link
Lotta placeholder accounts there right now with virtually no activity (including Tracer's, lol). I often can't tell if they are squatters trying to steal/scam the handle or legit mirrors of their twitter accounts.

― OG Rizzler (morrisp), Tuesday, 7 May 2024 21:29 (one month ago) link
I guess one caution seems to be that if you delete a BS post, it won't (yet) be deleted on the bridged ActivityPub account.

Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter
He prefers Nostr even though it’s “weird and hard to use.”

Dorsey also confirmed that he is financially backing Nostr, another decentralized Twitter-like service popular among some crypto enthusiasts and run by an anonymous founder.

I have a very narrowly curated followers list that's primarily focused on music / music writing, with a bit of local politics mixed in.
So what I can see this morning seems *completely* on-brand for BlueSky, in that I have a few posts that reference "The Discourse" and "The Bad Thing" without specifying what the fuck they're actually talking about, and then a couple of references to war profiteering and genocide without naming names.
So... looks like most any other morning on BlueSky to me.
