The IT Nerd

A few weeks ago, you might have seen a post from me that mentioned that I had signed up for fledgling social network Bluesky via an invite code provided by a friend. So far I haven’t done anything with that account, which by the way is @theitnerd.bsky.social if you want to give me a follow. But I plan on it when I figure out how to cross post to Bluesky. Having said that, if you want to give Bluesky a shot, now you can without an invite code according to this blog post:

Bluesky is building an open social network where anyone can contribute, while still providing an easy-to-use experience for users. For the past year, we used invite codes to help us manage growth while we built features like moderation tooling, custom feeds, and more. Now, we’re ready for anyone to join.

This will be interesting to see what happens and what sort of traction that this will give this social network. If it does gain traction at a rapid rate, it may get the attention of Elon Musk and cause him to do something irrational and ill advised in retaliation.

I’ll go get the popcorn ready.
