It looks like Bluesky is now open for anyone to make an account:

I'm not thinking bluesky
The decentralized protocol that wasn’t.
Nice, I already have an account 😁.
Waiting for the Zapping feature, Without this feature social networks feel boring.
sms verification is a red flag imo
Everyone*
(*except those without a phone number)
hilarious how they make that woman on the right gesturing just like the spongebob magical meme
you lost me at SMS verification
What's the point of this network?
I’m overwhelmed with all the networks that are available. I’ve had an account for a while on blue sky, but I’m at a loss as to why I would want to use it.
Such open, much decentralized WOW
Fiatjaf is angry at Nostr
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OK
Its been great nostr, but its time to bid you farewell.
Fake & gay
Excuse me, sir. I am a voluntary SMS verifier on Nostr network, please give me your phone number or we will be forced to ban you.
Be sure to put a lot of effort into curating your Bluesky identity before it all goes to waste when your account gets cancelled.
Yeah, but why would I do that?
SMS verification. wow. disappointing.
Can't you get a nonKYC SMS?
eg via google voice or jmp.chat

What did you expect?! It has a butterfly!
I hear you were involved
use a disposable number https://quackr.io/
Does this ever work for long, however?
I admire you a lot and I need you to share or donate, I live in Brazil, I have a cousin, his dream is to be a football player, he got an opportunity to play on a team, but the passage And everything else costs 10 thousand reais, about 2500 thousand and dollars, if you can help, thank you, if you can't, please share

No, I would just use it to register. But if the phone number is only requested to avoid spam and not as a second factor that’s fine
Still a centralized crawler just open registration right? Still needs an open AT
feds got to them.
I thought you are the boss for blue sky
This is 0% surprising.
An "open network"? really?
That moment when BlueSky realizes poast is probably going to start seeping into their network

The most interesting aspect of all of this, to me, is that Bluesky's success is tied to centralized services. People love this. They yearn for it. We're opting out of that with Nostr. It's a mental shift that not everyone is ready to experience just yet.
I already got banned from there. Never again.
How did you get banned? What happens? Are people getting banned a lot there?
Well I was trying to get banned, so I joined, offended a bunch of woke people, and got kicked out within 3 days. It's on the #bluesky hashtag.
But people do get blocked there a lot, and blocking is really weird there because other people can't see interactions between people where one party has blocked the other.

Here's a thread I started about the blocking mechanics.
If request your phone number is not safe.
I'd like to know why so I can decide whether or not I'll delete my account
I was banned because I was trying to get banned.
No reason was specified even though I asked several times, but it was pretty obvious why. I actively posted content that would be offensive and triggering to their primary user base and collected about 200 blocks. I didn't make it 3 days.
