It looks like Bluesky is now open for anyone to make an account: https://image.nostr.build/3a202de52f4ea52e93e3788d49f3c8c73fd987a61cbbecd4996957267b998766.png

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.


Hard pass


sms verification is a red flag imo


Everyone*

(*except those without a phone number)

:rolling on the floor laughing:


you lost me at SMS verification


What's the point of this network?


That whole invite farce didn’t really help


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.


Ditto for facebook and gmail here lol


Such open, much decentralized WOW


Fiatjaf is angry at Nostr


It kind of did. 3M users. 500K active. Meanwhile on Nostr 👀 I'm not a Bluesky fan, but clearly the FOMO method works.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OK


The hardest


Need a telco account it appears.  Seems pointless (telco is easy to cancel / forge).


I think it was more .nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m effect than the invites


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.


::rolling on the floor laughing::


Uncanny.

Yeah, but why would I do that?


SMS verification. wow. disappointing.


They blue it


Can't you get a nonKYC SMS?
eg via google voice or jmp.chat


DeCeNtRaLiZeD


What did you expect?! It has a butterfly!


GitHub is forcing 2FA now as well. 🙄


I hear you were involved


use a disposable number https://quackr.io/


This is 0% surprising.


The issue is not 2FA, but the SMS as a second factor. There are ways around it though.


An "open network"? really?


Instead of BlueSky
I prefer PurpleEarth

Hi

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.

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

Still a centralized crawler just open registration right? Still needs an open AT


I've got invite codes to get past the SMS verification 🤙🏾

Good. 2FA isn’t the issue, SMS is.


Well done sir.


I already got banned from there. Never again.


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


How did you get banned? What happens? Are people getting banned a lot there?


Doesn't need to be SMS though so its OK.


If request your phone number is not safe.


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.

You can do that with Yubikey or TOTP. It saved me from the IG hack that exposed the passwords from the backend.


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.
