In some sense, that is comprehensible. The factor remains to be in beta. The staff is tiny, and actively juggling moderation whereas making an attempt to ship options. I’m unsure who obtained invited, however one thing prompted at the moment’s announcement.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already there, as is Sen. Brian Schatz and Sen. Ron Wyden. There are celebrities there, as properly — CNN’s Jake Tapper, filmmaker Rian Johnson, mannequin Chrissy Teigen, and filmmaker Lilly Wachowski. However the extra high-profile members that be part of, the extra moderation challenges the Bluesky staff is prone to encounter. In spite of everything, when pundit Matt Yglesias joined, earlier than a block button was obtainable, one person threatened to beat him with hammers.
So I’m sympathetic to the motivation for this coverage, nevertheless it’s additionally too unhealthy. On Wednesday, for causes I’m not completely clear on, the shitposters of Bluesky had been sending one another horny jpegs of Alf, a sitcom puppet from a TV present airing within the late Eighties. Personally, I believe it will be very humorous for King Charles to inadvertently see Alf’s hog.
