Honest to God, if bluesky could scale up now and loosen the sign up restrictions, Twitter could implode. Thousands of the most active accounts I know on Twitter are begging for Bluesky codes.

They are probably planning that. I saw somewhere that they are aiming increase the platform capacity to able grow their user base. Have also seen some of people reporting that they got five invites in one go.
Open up for more users & news orgs, add a few features that existed on Twitter 3 years ago (#, embedded video) and keep moderating content. It would kill whatever is left of X as far as serious people go.
Agreed. There are many folks (authors, artists, etc.) I'd like to hear from on BS, but they don't have profiles. I am very happy to be here, but yet still puzzled how I managed to get an invitation, while so many others are still waiting.
I have an invite code now, my twitter is (a horrible first name bunch of numbers) @richard98906196 - DM from yourself or someone else who has worthwhile things to say will get it.
I advise people not to hand out their codes like you would hand out sweets, because if one of the codes go to a spammer/bot account, it will get traced back to your account.
+1. Yet, I feel that the sign-up restriction is helpful keeping junk at bay. I wouldn’t even mind one had to pass an ident process for opening an account at Bluesky.
Currently BS has about 1.5M registered users, population can at max. double every 10 days from codesharing plus whoever comes in via the waitlist. With that growth it should open up wide enough this year?
you can donate to a Ukrainian charity or fundraiser (i.e. from the "UA fundraising" feed) of your choice and send a screenshot of the donation to @z_april_z on twitter, she hands out codes to make people donate (I got 2 Fellas on here in this way 😄)
now that I think of it, I used to chit-chat w/ some of the porn bots from MSN network, I'd talk to them and once in a while they would answer back. it was amusing. also it really got me off! like better than the petting zoo.....uh I mean better than Church!
Bluesky is smart to keep current momentum: beta-testers/developers on platform to contribute to bugs/fixes; word of mouth + as Twitter implodes; an onslaught of Twitter users is Twitter 2.0--allow Bluesky to find it's voice/it's values; and, there are still 2 ways to join, e.g., gifted key/waitlist.
