"Hi friend, Thanks for your patience! We're excited for you to join the early conversation on the Bluesky app." yeah i sorry i ran out of patience and then i forgot about you.
i don't even know when i join the waitlist because it's been so long ago. i had no desire to actually join beyond "signing up for fun", and now i have even less desire to join after quitting twitter. i put in so much effort in quitting twitter and i don't want another addiction.
but i did sign up for fun. as expected, it has ✨algorithms✨, but nowhere near as potent as twitter's - if i'm serious about using Bsky i will have to put in some effort to follow people, wheres twitter will give you an addiction instantly. it does feel like a smaller twitter 2.0 like how everyone who talked about Bsky said.
Bluesky could have been so much more popular if it wasn't invite only. it barely capitalized on the twitter migrations. just look at home popular Threads was at the beginning. Threads failed to replace twitter because it's missing the twitter-ness, which is exactly the thing Bluesky had.
