I signed up for bluesky in 2021, a whole year before I even heard of #nostr. Today I got my invite code. My enthusiasm from my signup was gone. What I thought to be an open & decentralized alternative to twitter, turned out to be a snobbish invite club. I wish them best of luck, with their efforts. But excluding people with early interest to favor people with clout; was a misstake, in this case.
I build and am on nostr now. Here my enthusiasm got ground to stand on right out of the box, and it felt more welcomming and more in line with what I thought a project like this was all about.
Thanks all #nostriches! You make my day, daily, it's fun posting here; and developing tech with you guys!
