the way democracy works now is that we keep voting for people to whack us in the nuts with bigger and bigger hammers. occasionally we vote for someone who says they’ll use smaller hammers, but guess what? bigger hammers

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

open federation means other folks can run their own servers and decide how to moderate content in their communities. it also means they can let anyone in, in which case, invites no longer gate users from joining...
sooo when we say "we'll be open soon in early 2024," we also mean open invites!
