Jack Dorsey funding and creating Bluesky, joining the board, then deleting his account and posting "removing a bunch of noise" to Nostr is exactly the sort of sequence of events that explains why Twitter no longer exists

Are people still trying to make Blue Sky an actual thing? Or has everyone realized it's not happening? -- nm - MDH Sep 18, 13:54 14
- It may actually happen soon if Musk makes Twitter pay to use for all like he was murmuring about today with Bibi. -- nm - Jovian Sep 18, 14:26
- I check it a few times a day and I like it. I do wish it would grow quicker than it has been but there's been a steady stream of new people. - Krusty Sep 18, 14:20 5
  - Someone on my mastodon timeline had a shoe question today - specifically about safely cleaning some very dirty nikes -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 14:44 2
    - There are a few steps to safely clean sneakers. You want to use a towel and brush to get as much of the excess dirt off before you start. - Krusty Sep 18, 16:06 1
      - Mesh sneakers don't get nearly as clean as leather and if it's suede you're going to need to get a suede cleaning brush and kit as the water can/will - Krusty Sep 18, 16:09
  - It's Twitterish. Weird and riffy. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 14:29 1
    - Yup. Less hateful overall but still lots of cliques and for now no ads. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 14:32
- Why do you think it isn't happening? It continues to grow, the accounts I follow are active. It replicates Twitter's functionality - TWuG Sep 18, 14:12 5
  - I remember it being a whole thing that Ashton Kutcher got to 1M followers first. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 14:25
  - I'll just take this opportunity to repost my invite codes still available: -- (edited) - mud Sep 18, 14:16 3
    - I have 5 invite codes apparently. - Krusty Sep 18, 14:21 2
      - heh -- nm - mud Sep 18, 14:22 1
        
        I hadn't noticed and only looked because of your post. - Krusty Sep 18, 14:26
- I have no idea. It is a non-entity for me, I'm just talking about it today because of how embarrassing this particular account deletion is for them. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 13:59
Can't see without an account..is he the OP of Twitter and now blue? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 18, 13:47 1
