Twitter update has changed it so you can only receive DMs from verified accounts. You can fix it by going into your privacy settings! BUT. If you select “everyone” the setting automatically switches back. You need to change it to “people that you follow” and THEN “everyone.”

1. Top-Down overload or "Reddit Hug of Death": This is what Bluesky experienced today - suddenly there was a HUGE demand surge and the servers just *couldn't* for a while. This also happens after superbowl ads or when pop stars announce tours or during DDOS attacks.
Looks like there's another exodus wave 🌊🌊🌊

Bluesky invites become a hot commodity as demand for the Twitter alternative outstrips access tcrn.ch/3Lts0sw by @sarahintampa

More (see what color and what this pic is of) invite codes. Dedicating to orgs, big names, #BlackTechTwitter and more. Will ask if friend sent u/can you be vouched for. READ PINNED BEFORE DM I WILL BLOCK.

It was interesting how bad it is, now what is fascinating at how effective their campaign to keep tech media from discussing those issues- even hinting at them, has been.

Ok here's a technical breakdown of why the “@Dyson Zone™ Air-Purifying Headphones” aka. the Snot Cannon aka. the Wearable SuperSpreader Event is such a staggeringly bad idea and a significant danger to public health if it is allowed to be sold.

I've got a kind of placeholder account on Bluesky, if I get enough followers I might start posting there. If Twitter isn't going to monetize my account like others there's no incentive to keep written content exclusive to this platform.

Imagine a social network that is built in a way that allows devs to build clients & projects on top of it. And where the platform promotes these third-party solutions.
A long time ago, this was Twitter, and it's partially why it became so popular.
Today, this is @bluesky.
ALT hello devs!! say hi to @atproto.com 👋 we’ll be using this account to share *your projects* that you’re building on top of atproto! the bluesky team also gets into some pretty interesting technical convos deep in the replies, and @atproto.com can broadcast that info further 🗣️
