Bluesky, a decentralized Twitter-like social network, is pausing new signups “temporarily” to try and resolve performance issues it’s been experiencing after Twitter introduced limits on the amount of tweets you can see in a day. Even though you still need an invite code to be able to join Bluesky, it seems that the influx of new users has been a problem.

    bluesky is crap. it requires an invite and id verification. 100% will turn into a fascist navel-gazing network.

      The rest of the platforms which will still be using anonymous access will be invaded by AI’s astroturfing their stuff into your face. Which one do you prefer?

        It’s literally impossible for any social network to ever under any circumstances be relevant/important enough that asking for an ID could theoretically be forgivable under any circumstances, let alone valid.

        There are very few scenarios where any website asking for an ID should even be legal. It’s a massive and inexcusable privacy issue.
