Bluesky

Will try to remember to check this thread on Tuesdays during the day...

@twistedpencil check DM.

Again,

I have a few left. There's no need to queue just now.

@cougar would be appreciated if you're feeling generous.

Yes please @cougar

Anyone else not had a code. I have 4 spare as the family aren’t interested.

yes plz!

please!

yes please! @sandwich

could I have one please.

As it seems have got lost in traffic,

If you're still wanting a code and haven't been sorted via other users, please DM me.

Missed the other 2 requests. DM if you’re still waiting I’ll deal with that tomorrow. NBT is sorted.

I've finally been given a code if anyone still needs one?

colournoise, I’d appreciate it if you don’t have another home for it. 

If anyone wants a code then DM me as I have one going spare at the mo. 🤞

Two invite codes available - DM
@jsimsjon on bluesky

although fair warning, I don't know what I'm doing and my timeline is full of weird furry people art that I have no interest in.

I’ve got another code if anyone wants.

Also if anyone wants following, let me know.

I'm on bluesky already - how are codes allocated?

A bit randomly. You should get one once every other Tuesday, sometimes you get bonus ones.

I've an invite code if anyone wants one, DM me or whatever

@samename bit late to this (on holiday) but if you still need a code DM me.

I'd still like an invite if there's any out there?

@beagleboy Have DM’d you

And another if anyone wants.

Begging bowl out, for a code please, pretty please 😝

Signed up months ago to the Beta & still nothing 😫

Want to get off the current cesspit of negativity that is formerly know as Twitter 🤯

TIA

@martib You’ll have a DM shortly

I've got 2 codes if anyone wants them - please DM me

I don't know how many times I have to repeat the same post... 😁

Anymore codes kicking around. 🙂

check your DMs @redthunder

@stevious

Thanks dude :-). Just got in. It sulked on the desktop version, but the app worked OK.

Thanks again RT.

It’s obviously invite code day as I’ve got one too…

Anyone willing to put their usernames up for follows?

I've got three codes going if anyone wants one

Re following, what's the deal. I basically go on there for a couple of journos I like and a couple of political opinion/dog/food lovers. I don't post, occasionally like something. But yesterday I got follows from very odd accounts that just baffle me. It's not like the naked lady follows you get on twitter, at least not yet. Why are they following me?

It’s not like the naked lady follows you get on twitter, at least not yet.

I had two (!) of those today, for the first time. They’d both been reported as spam pretty quickly by someone else so I assume moderation is working.

It’s evidently bonus code day - DM me if you want one.

I've got 5 or 6 available, DM please so that I don't send codes when someone else has all ready fulfilled the need.

I have a few codes available. PM if interested 

Same.

Honestly, I think at this point it's probably dead. It felt like a beta product when I signed up and little has changed that I can see.

I hope you're wrong cougar, as I've been really enjoying bluesky and spending less and less time on Twitter as a result. Partly it's a bit quieter on there but also having set up my feed from scratch has allowed me to be a bit more thoughtful about what I want from social media.

My suspicion is that it’s just a symptom of post-Twitter fragmentation. I’ve gone to Bluesky, others to eg. Substack, others have given up. It’ll take a bit of time for the new normal to settle out.

Being a Neil Gaiman and Robin Ince fan, Bluesky has been great 😀

I'm not sure Neil sleeps...

Threads is okay, but I prefer Bluesky at the moment...

Switched to blue sky to follow a couple of politicos and have barely looked at twitter in about a month. When I did it was the usual broadside of onlyfans tarts following me and endless shit posting. Blue sky has been relatively amusing although you realise it's a bubble of pleasant like minded people laughing at the government. Other bubbles are presumably available

They’re about to introduce the ability to view without logging in, which Twi, sorry X, removed, and there’s some more changes upcoming, from what I understand; meanwhile Musk’s ongoing destruction of Twitt… sorry, X continues apace, most major advertisers are shutting down spending, others will almost certainly follow suit, not wanting to be seen to be the ones left sitting next to anti-Semitic rhetoric and the comments from the fascist Right.

I don’t go onto Bluesky much, but then I’m never on any other social media platform much either, Facebook possibly most; after four or five years away, I’m reconnecting with some friends and family, plus now I’m a member of an archery club, I need to use Fb and Messenger for updates regarding shooting days.

@twistedpencil Is Gaiman on there? I'll go and follow...

…. and I've another code if anyone wants.
