They gave invite codes to some "influencers", and it got a lot of hype and media attention, but after the hype died down somewhat, it's become basically a nothing burger. I've stopped giving out the invite codes that I'm accumulating, because my feed is pretty boring and dead. Bluesky is far more "promise" than reality.
Meta has 1000x the engineering resources of Bluesky.
I’ll DM you!
EDIT: realised you can’t DM on HN
How can I send a code to you? If you want one that is, you might not be bothered :-)
EDIT EDIT: I’m using the Hack App on my Phone, I think maybe I can DM followers from the desktop site?
There is no way to DM, but Firefox Relay can be used for temporary email addresses:

Not sure on the DM stuff, if you figure it out let me know!

Apologies for the delay.
I haven't got one either yet so don't know its state.
Ceci est un post de protestation.
- A very, very small part of socialization may very, very occasionally happen on social media.
- Social media allows for multiple phenomena to happen, but the overwhelming majority of it won't be socializing.
The issue here is the redefinition of "socialization" intrinsically made by the "social media" marketing campaigns. The solution is a better understanding of what human socialization actually is.
This is not a critique of social media. I like and use it, even though I'd like more diversity. But stop mixing it up with "socialization" because it is not, even if the marketing of social media relies on trying to mix them up.
