Bluesky is seeing an influx of users, including @dril and AOC, with some referring to posting on the Jack Dorsey-backed social network as “skeeting”

Instead of “tweeting,” the influx of new Bluesky users has coined a new term for sharing their thoughts on the decentralized social media app.

    Dril and, less importantly, AOC have joined Bluesky. https://twitter.com/...
  • @bobo_circus Krysten Rizzer on x
    sorry guys im leaving twitter. im going to post gleeps on frunkley.bunk with two hundred of the most 38 year old people this website ever churned out
  • @dril @dril on x
    ok i got like 100 blue sky invites but they reserved my handle. probably to punish me https://twitter.com/...
  • @moorehn Heidi N. Moore on x
    oooohhh AOC is on Bluesky now. In 36 hours, it's become the place for people with big followings. Elno must be absolutely losing his mind right now
  • @ashleyfeinberg Ashley Feinberg on x
    @bluesky i know jack let me in
  • @swolecialism @swolecialism on x
    Look the bluesky vs Mastodon thing is simple. Mastodon is free and open source software full of earnest, well meaning people talking about things politely. The first post i saw on bluesky was someone doing a juul pod summoning circle for egirls and they're calling posts “skeets”
  • @billybrizzle420 Brizz-Chan on x
    Can't believe Elon didn't put a “please do not built a website to compete with the one I paid you double the value of with the proceeds of this sale” in the contract he signed with Jack
  • @ashleyfeinberg Ashley Feinberg on x
    alright here's where i'll be waiting for bluesky's first vagina plane moment https://twitter.com/...
  • @c_davies Chris Davies on x
    Fine. FINE. If someone has a spare Bluesky invite and they want to see my smiling face over there, I guess I'll check it out. It's starting to feel like a full time job just signing up to new social networks, at this point.
  • @quantian1 @quantian1 on x
    Everyone who was an earnest and polite person left Twitter for Mastodon months ago and nobody cared, but now all the weird little freaks and gremlins are bailing for Bluesky, which actually has momentum
  • @thestalwart Joe Weisenthal on x
    The real lesson of Bluesky is that people are going to it, and even though it's ostensibly “federated” and “decentralized” nobody cares. People will just use the corporate instance of it. Mastadon's mistake was thinking anyone actually cared about the “pick your server” part.
  • @nickstatt Nick Statt on x
    What's a non-desperate way to ask for a Bkuesky invite? Asking for a friend ofc
  • @_fleerultra Michael on x
    bro twitter is toast as soon as people can join bluesky freely lmao
  • @eve6 @eve6 on x
    Jack dorsey is a genius he was like what if I make a site that's exactly like twitter but it isn't run by elon musk
  • @mnateshyamalan Soul Nate on x
    it's so funny how jack sold his app to someone he knew would ruin it and then just.. made that same exact app again
  • @semaforben Ben Smith on x
    Like 20 people have asked about Bluesky invites in the last 20 minutes. Also I'd love one yes....
  • @ohnoshetwitnt @ohnoshetwitnt on x
    Can't wait for serious news outlets and uptight politicians having to publicly say the word “skeet.”
  • @willoremus Will Oremus on x
    ME IN 2022: hm i wonder how elon running twitter will go TIME TRAVELER FROM 2023: bad ME: how bad TT: you know that “decentralized social media” thing jack dorsey's working on? ME: lol yeah TT: you're gonna be on that ME: i... what? oh wow TT: and you're gonna like it ME: jesus
  • @levie Aaron Levie on x
    The young people don't realize we've already had to join ICQ, AIM, LiveJournal, Blogspot, Skype, Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, and Snapchat just to get to this point. We just want to be done.
  • @kantrowitz Alex Kantrowitz on x
