Ever since I read that Bluesky has about 1.9 million folks on the waiting list, I’ve been thinking about what happens as more invites roll out. By comparison: Mastodon has over 7 million users, with 1 million on a single server. Plus a bunch more across the non-Mastodon fediverse.
Manton Reece @rlaxton No, they only give accounts an extra invite every couple weeks. Although I think they are working through the waiting list.
Don Meyer @manton It saddens me to see smart people like AOC happily jumping to support yet another centralized platform run by the guy who gave us the current centralized platform shit-show. 🙁

Jari Pennanen @manton I hope you guys (micro.blog) get first in line to federate with Bluesky. I definitely want to hear what parts you plan to implement, will you attempt BGS? Can we fetch content from PDSs without the BGS? So on... I suspect implementing own hosted PDS is easiest for single hosters, but if we must fetch everything from BGS it could be problematic.
Manton Reece @Ciantic I have no idea yet! Too early. But I'm definitely watching it closely.
Watts Martin I'm curious if Bluesky will really go the way they planned it to; it seems an awful lot of its initial users like it precisely because they don't have to think about federation to use it.
