> Bluesky invites have been abundantly available for months now

Only in a bubble where everybody already has an account I suspect.

I've been giving away my invites on Twitter and it has become increasingly more difficult to find any takers. I think I'm currently sitting on like ten invites since my friend is feeding me his spare invites too.

Same, I’ve more invites to hand out than I know what to do with.

1. When people actually wanted invites, they couldn’t get one. Timing matters.

2. People may be interested, but they’re people that are outside of the existing niche that is on Bluesky. But clearly BlueSky only wants people that are part of that existing niche. The monoculture.

What?

There is one single hivemind on the network because of their invite-only system.

It was designed that way so they wouldn't have to worry about moderation so much right away.
