ok we hit a millionusers the other day, few days before that someone from BlueSky was saying that they were working on back end stuff to handle 10x that so, 100 invites to everyone is going to bog it down a bit lol give it time, they are building it up

My problem is I don't go on Twitter anymore so I have no way to give my invites to people I would like to see here.

My first day here I was lucky enough to have somebody give me an invite What does it take to get an invitation to give once you're here?

I know a lot of people who couldn’t give away the codes they had.

I mean, that's mighty generous, but I only need 1 more for myself and maybe 2 more for people. I barely used X to start with, but I'll be damned if I stay with them if that sucker goes behind a paywall. Also, first post on Bluesky from me. (account's been alive for roughly 2 weeks)

pretty sure they're pausing invites because the current version doesn't scale. You can't just throw money and servers at it. They need the v2 they're working on and expect to be ready by EOY and then it will scale, at which point invites will become available again.

Just get rid of the invite system and open the floodgates. Take that seed funding and buy as much server power as you can, and let it rip. It's time.

Agree. The invite thing has the feel of the old Google+ and similar (was it Ello?). Limiting participation necessarily means, well, limiting participation. Not great for social media. ;)

Is there a time frame you have to wait before you get an invite code?

If they don't everyone will end up on threads. There's a lot of new faces there today.

I don’t know. I think the management will be hesitant to do that. They kinda like this place not to be overrun by trolls.

I thought he wasn’t doing the full paywall and that it was a misunderstanding, did something else happen
