It ALWAYS seems slow.

Especially when Musk announces a new feature lol

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

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.

i am on here and im enjoying the skeets

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.

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

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!

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

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)

i'm @reesewitherspoon

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)

Thanks, Clay! Its not accepting it for me though. Getting the same message as Hunt3r.

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!

mookieproof, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 01:42 (one year ago)

See I dont want a social media space where I can fawn over slebs and go "oooh! They replied to me!". I just want a damn space where I can sort posts by the people *I* want to read, at *my* pace, and occasionally sling a bon mot or grenade into the mix. Livejournal suite that purpose nicely. FB kind of did, but nowhere near as well.
There's no one space anymore where I can catch up with what everyone I know is doing. I have to lurk on FB and Twatter and bsky and ILX and thanks to fucking algorithms I am STILL missing half of what people say and do because I'm not glued to it all 94/7 I am well aware this makes me sound like a cranky old lady version of AlexinNYC but hey whatever.

...maybe bsky will be a good "just my mates" place for at least a while?

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 02:19 (one year ago)

Does have that vibe!

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

I just lurk as @veedonriver

that's not my post, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:23 (one year ago)

ok so far blue sky is basically exactly twitter, but without a few people (but also no elon, and so far not as many political pundits though maybe I haven't stumbled on those yet). I imagine it's over for X as soon as this is no longer invite-only

Would love a code if anyone wants to ilx mail me. I seem to miss them whenever someone puts them here.
