Here? You can't as it's private, I'm pretty sure.

I have an invite code finally…verifying this list is still accurate? BobbyP (Square Rob) up next?

I think it's public, but I don't think our embedding plugin supports it yet.

So, now it says one invite every two weeks. Maybe I misread it before, but I swear it said 2 invites a week. Maybe they changed it. Still waiting on my next one.
Merci mon ami

I'd love one when another comes up, thanks guys!

I have one. Will DM the code.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Mon Aug 28, 2023 7:57 am

I just sent mine to Steve. Grow the movement.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Mon Aug 28, 2023 7:59 am

Yeah I sent to the 'Zilla. Sorry I didn't quote that one.

Steve of phpBB · Post by **Steve of phpBB** » Mon Aug 28, 2023 3:19 pm

And of course two hours after L-Jam sends the invite code to me, I got one from Bluesky itself.

So it's available if anyone wants it.

travzilla · Post by **travzilla** » Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:24 pm

I'm in (thanks AB).

handle is Chambers30.bsky.social
I tweet about as much as I post in the Swamp, though. If I get any codes I will pass them on here for anyone else who's looking for one.

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Mon Aug 28, 2023 5:01 pm

I was away from bluesky for a month and came back to see I have 3 invitation codes if anyone wants one (my profile is alanbp)

blundercrush · Post by **blundercrush** » Wed Sep 06, 2023 8:58 am

I have an invite if someone wants one.

Post by **Shirley** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 12:44 pm

Look, I like George Takei, but his posts absolutely dominate my BlueSky feed. Like at least 2/3 posts are his posts or reposts. Anyone else seeing that? It makes it hard to get into. Maybe I need to Unfollow him.

Also, I have two invitations if anyone needs one still.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 1:31 pm

I don’t follow Takei but definitely notice the feed being dominated if someone I do follow is particularly active at some point in the recent past.

Samesies. (I only have one invite, to be clear, but yes on Takei.)

Not enough of the sports folks that I want to hear from are on it. Hoping that changes.

If anyone still needs on I have 2 codes apparently.

I get a lot of Neil Gaiman.

On the other hand, unlike Twitter, there's no dearth of Darth.

I wouldn't count on it. Things picked up for me when college football started going (I follow the Shutdown Fullcast people and that's about it), but there was no change when the NFL started. Most established sports Twitter accounts are going to stay there until it dies. They are not going to take the time trying to rebuild their audience, be it 15K for a Power 5 basketball beat reporter to 125K for a national NHL reporter to 10.4M for Schefter.

Until those media people have a reason to move, they won't. Too much already expended, especially with no clear second place to go.

But they can post in both, right? Why would they not do that?

Relatedly, how hard would it be to have a macro or app or whatever that posted your posts on multiple platforms simultaneously?

Many accounts do post in both. Lots of what I see in Bluesky, I've already seen in Twitter because they do post in both. It's just copy-and-paste.

However, these people are doing their job providing sports info to the widest possible audience ("get engagement/clicks/eyeballs"), which is not going to happen to a niche, invitation-only social media outlet populated by people who mostly are there specifically due to their personal beliefs.

I just loaded my home page. I can see 6 posts. Three are by Takei. One is a Takei repost. The other two are both posts that he replied to. So, 100% of my page is dictated by one account. I'm following 24 accounts. I'm not sure this site's gonna make it.
