X rival Bluesky was available by invitation only until today, but now everyone can join. The question is, will they?

Bluesky was announced in late 2019 by then-Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey to develop a decentralized standard for social media and has grown to have over 3 million users.

    I like how Dorsey waited until NOW when there's no active "fuck Elon where can we go?" campaign. He should've opened it up, even if it had some bugs, 6-12 months ago when people were actively trying to flee. But whatever.

      I've got nothing to prove this, but I'm pretty sure the purpose of the invite system was not to prevent the fledgling platform from being overloaded, but to construct a social graph of people coming aboard the platform.
