@rolle I think bluesky is awfully designed :/

@pandoriafalls Many design flaws there, yes. I guess the attractiveness comes from the Twitter-like UI and the hype. But it's very, very basic.

@rolle It’s always necessary to see the positive side of things, for example, you can quote the movie Saw:

Hello user, I want to play a game.
Below there are 5 codes for Bluesky but a letter has been modified, you have until tomorrow to register.

Make your choice. 🎃

@rolle 🤔 Maybe we should all ask for invites, and then simply hoard them and never ever use them. 🐉

@rolle I have one invite code left to Mastodon. If anyone is interested, please reach out via mail.

@rolle Last time I checked I got six invites to hand out on my account.

But I weirdly enjoy this power trip of just sitting on them 🤭

@tuomas_h Same.

@rolle Oh crap. 😓 It feels people stopped thinking critically about commercial service providers.

@rolle You should create invite codes for Masto as well 🙂

rolle, 6 months ago

@juhakn That’s easy. But I doubt it has the same effect.

@rolle Just thinking if it would give people illusion that you are 'special' when you have the invitation code.
(then of course all the fools would come here)

@rolle Don't stress it, dude. Just keep doing you and let other people do them.

rolle, 6 months ago

@laukanhenkka I won’t. But some are even asking invites from me all over. 🤷‍♂️

laukanhenkka, 6 months ago

@rolle I think the scarcity and limited quantity of invite codes is one of the things that make the demand of the service. It's one of those "forbidden pleasure" things or something.

@laukanhenkka It’s like Facebook and Spotify when they started. Effective marketing strategy.

@rolle I've tried it. Every single post I made was ignored.

Why would I want to go back to that??
