The theory is that a lot of people are trying to shift over because Twitter is going to do away with the block function.

some more invite codes

bsky-social-d73rk-rrf55

that's not my post, Friday, 18 August 2023 19:48 (one year ago)

It ALWAYS seems slow.

Can someone flick one to me on webmail? I think mine still works.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 19 August 2023 06:01 (one year ago)

I got it JF thanks! xx

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 19 August 2023 13:35 (one year ago)

if there are any going spare i’ll take one via ilx mail as well. enough people over there now to make it slightly annoying. plus it’s of great importance to sustaining the fizzles brand obv.

Fizzles, Sunday, 20 August 2023 13:39 (one year ago)

ilxmailed you Fizzles

rob, Sunday, 20 August 2023 14:17 (one year ago)

Sent one

I have a couple more going too.

just saw a bunch of people responding to a fake CBC News image, even labelled as such in the alt text. I think this app might have what it takes after all

rob, Sunday, 20 August 2023 14:19 (one year ago)

thanks both!

Especially when Musk announces a new feature lol

That might be the biggest problem with Bluesky, we'll see..

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 20 August 2023 14:22 (one year ago)

A post I read on bk just now is coming up with a figure of 600k so I am not sure how feasible it is.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 20 August 2023 14:30 (one year ago)

i am on here and im enjoying the skeets

oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 20 August 2023 14:43 (one year ago)

imo network effects of twitter are too strong (and generally useful/valuable obv), and they’ll prob gradually break down and deteriorate in crappy ways, but be v difficult to reconstitute elsewhere. things will just get generally worse in terms of social media usability. idk maybe that’s better in some way too.

definitely need a place where high profile people say and do things that wouldn’t be out of place in a playground tho.

Fizzles, Sunday, 20 August 2023 15:39 (one year ago)

yeah kinda doubt well ever see big posting sites like facebook-twitter-instagram again, insta has already turned into something more like tiktok or youtube a content consumption place

lag∞n, Sunday, 20 August 2023 16:11 (one year ago)

it’s a shopping app

Tracer Hand, Sunday, 20 August 2023 19:45 (one year ago)

I tell you one thing I already love over twitter is the customisable feeds. I immediately snapped up the "onlyPosts" feed.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 20 August 2023 22:57 (one year ago)

if anyone has a spare code they’re willing to give me i’d be very appreciative. my ilx mail should still work, i think

estela, Monday, 21 August 2023 00:52 (one year ago)

sent via ilx mail!

mh, Monday, 21 August 2023 01:30 (one year ago)

thank you and mookie and lagoon so much<3

mookie’s arrived earlier so that’s the one i used

estela, Monday, 21 August 2023 02:45 (one year ago)

Hurrah! What's your handle?

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 August 2023 03:17 (one year ago)

What it lacks, and what might be hard to develop, is a large contingent of normal people who signed up to follow celebrities/politicians and stuck around to be a permanent disapproving audience and pool of intermittent guest stars.

this is true. so far the main characters have mainly been the mods, or moderation adjacent drama. the user base is too sophisticated. not enough willing bean dads.

Nice piece from Max (as always) and very funny how X (formerly known as twitter) hasn't broken. My experience is like, 90% the same as before Musk took over.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 21 August 2023 20:31 (one year ago)

Look at these codes I got

bsky-social-mgrnd-efchn
bsky-social-oom7t-bv4nl

Happy to see more ILXors there (akm just joined), but definitely make it clear who you are if your handle isn't the one on here (I've got some mystery follows who I *might* know? But am not sure?)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 August 2023 22:02 (one year ago)

Clay, Monday, 21 August 2023 22:09 (one year ago)

caek, thanks kindly. are these time locked in any way? i just entered it and got an invite code not working msg.

juan epshteyn-- r.i.c.o., but suave tambien (Hunt3r), Monday, 21 August 2023 22:14 (one year ago)

here’s what I got, hope something works!

Clay, Monday, 21 August 2023 22:23 (one year ago)

That probably means someone snaked the invite out from underneath you

the new drip king (DJP), Monday, 21 August 2023 22:23 (one year ago)

Clay, I swiped the 4th in your series, figuring other faster fingers were at work. Thank you. and caek, thanks again for the email, i don't know why it didn't work-- nobody else has access to that email-- it's exists for me only as this weird ilxor legacy thing.

juan epshteyn-- r.i.c.o., but suave tambien (Hunt3r), Monday, 21 August 2023 22:37 (one year ago)

i'm @foxshark fwiw. Have not yet followed or posted or done anything but I'll get around to it!
