As Israel-Hamas misinformation floods X, Meta rejects calls to promote news content on Threads. Zuckerberg doesn't need to replace Twitter, he just has to destroy it.
Yeah the only problem with bluesky is that it still has such strict limits on who can join, and even who can see the content. Can’t exactly make it your online home for announcements and such if most people can’t see them there even if they wanted to.
You know what makes the Nobel Prize so valuable? Not everyone gets one.
Blue sky is following the early Facebook playbook of artificial exclusivity. When the feeling of FOMO is widespread enough, they’ll gradually open the door wider.
Edit: I don’t mean to imply that blue sky is good like the Nobel prize is good. I just mean they’re using artificial scarcity to drum up demand.
I’m not quite sure social media accounts and the Nobel Prize make a good comparison. I get what you’re saying about the exclusivity idea, but in my mind “exclusive” social media can’t really be that much of a draw if there’s a million alternatives and it doesn’t bring anything new to the table (it’s not decentralized or federated if you need approval from a central authority).

How many do you have? I’ve been waiting on the wait-list for like months now lmao
I get one every 2 weeks, usually give them to strangers like in this case
I tried, but it seems it’s already gone
And no one commented that they did. Nice.
Thanks!

It’s a club with people lining up outside then.
“I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member”
Now those are some wise fuckin words.
Marx was full of wisdom
