Watching everyone grapple with the realities of developing a solution from the ground up in absolute beta form I think is a good experience. The fact they do this while it's all running is fantastic.

For those who haven't been around for long: this isn't a change in policy. They're just making it more clear how you get an invite.

The main update is that the invite codes which were previously brute-forcible (7 lowercase alphanumerics) have been given greater entropy to stop malicious actors.
bsky.app Bluesky @bsky.app · Apr 28
Users receive one invite code for every two weeks they have been on Bluesky. Our in-app text has been updated to reflect this.

Just finished the 2023 London Marathon last weekend and my legs are still as wobbly as a bottle of wine after a turbulent flight, but nothing beats the feeling of returning home with a nice glass of vino! Cheers!🏃‍♀️🍷✈️
