Sorry, is there an actual article with a real URL somewhere? Because this just goes to a lock screen going "create an account", so either everyone who upvoted this has a bluesky account, or the post got locked down and it's no longer information. It's just a gate.

Not sure I'm going to click on something called skeeet.xyz, especially not if, looking it up, that's just another redirector

It's not a "redirector" and does show the content.

Skeet is how posts are unofficially called on Bluesky, from sky + tweet ;)

Yikes...that's an absolutely terrible name, made even worse by the fact that the word already has rather unsavory slang meaning...

Yeah that's the joke

That's a great joke if you want to keep people off your platform. Then again, we can also pretend its from skeet shooting, something that happens in the sky. Still ridiculous to need a separate site to show the content of your site, though.

Thanks I hate it
