Literally this, or the Web3 BS Bluesky.

Bluesky is at least federated, no?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Using their own new protocol that no one else uses and they probably don't even implement themselves yet.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

The guy that is one of the main creators of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, made Bluesky. It's a Twitter alternative that I believe is still invite only. It's funny, when Bluesky officially started allowing people to use it, Twitter was abuzz with excitement and people posting memes about begging for access. Those select few that did get in early were going on and on about how awesome it is and how it was like old Twitter.

Then Threads drops without the invite barrier automatically adding everyone with an Instagram account and I haven't heard a fuckin peep about Bluesky in weeks.

Threads got rid of the invite barrier so hard they already created an account for everyone and even thier friends thatve never used it.

Please tell us why it had to hide away for so long (so long)?

Last I heard their invite only platform already had a Nazi problem.

Isn't that going to be a problem with any type of federated site?

yes, but if your platform is invite only and already has a nazi problem I dont see that as a "good look." Its not like the nazis can go to a public sign up page in that case, someone had to invite a nazi.

The only thing I liked about bluesky was that i could use my domain as my handle...seemed cool.
