Bluesky invites in high demand as Twitter users annoyed by Elon Musk look to join beta version of Jack Dorsey-backed alternative
Gleeful anarchy, goofy new coinages and predictions of Twitter’s demise have followed on the fledgling app.
“This place feels like class with a substitute teach who is totally fucked,” wrote Alex Peter, a public defender who has large followings on TikTok and Twitter as @loloverruled. Writer and artist John Paul Brammer noted that the bustle of an expanding Bluesky “feels like our moms all dropped us off at the mall at the exact same time.”
The surge of activity has caused a couple of outages, while the torrent of jokes, memes, and excited chatter has ruffled a few of thefolks first active on Bluesky. On Thursday, one complained that the new arrivals didn’t understand the unique architecture of the app — it’s built on a new “protocol,” or system for transmitting data over a network — and were treating it like a Twitter clone. “Whoever invited these people, you have doomed us all,” they wrote.
As the Bluesky user base swells, many have also speculated that the app will be a torment to Musk as Twitter continues to struggle under his leadership. “This website has the potential to make elon [very] mad,” noted Max Collins of the band Eve6, who has built a significant audience on Twitter. Investigative reporter Ken Klippenstein wrote, “jack is mr. steal elon’s bitch, selling him twitter at a huge markup and replacing it with this.
