> I currently have a list of fourteen people waiting for a code.

That tends to happen when there's an exclusive club, people want to peak in. It is, in no way, an indication of the quality of the platform.

> the waves of repugnant users or miserably overbaked features.

That tends to happen when there's hardly any users at all. The "repugnant" or "normals" will flock in all the same, if the platform ever takes off.

> the utter lack of ads is delightful.

That tends to happen in all pre-revenue startups. Twitter was ads-free for years.



Thanks for the cynicism but the quality of the platform is that I can currently, today, communicate with strangers and friends in good faith without being pelted by noxious crap or adtech gone asymptotic.

Maybe it'll all be the usual grim broken carnival barking shit when you have an account too, but for right now we're all twirling in a teacup here.


The noxious crap and adtech were all strapped on to Twitter by Jack, why would that not happen again?


They intend to not move to ads. This domain name feature was described specifically by bluesky as the first attempt at bringing in revenue from other means


So their business model is... exactly like twitter blue?


I mean, if by "exactly like twitter blue" you mean "charging people money for things" then sure. But you're generalizing beyond the point where the comparison is useful or a pejorative

What is the thing that Nazis do?


Advocate for racial hierarchies, spread hateful messages about various minorities, promote subjugation for women and violence as purification for men. The usually nazi shit, although the ones with extra brain cells try to be coy about it.


Fair enough. The reason I asked is because it seems people throw that word around very loosely now
