These things seem to be rarer than Faberge eggs. Anyone gotten in yet? (BlueSky is a Twitter/X alternative. I don’t really know what it offers that’s better than the alternative, but it’s not associated with Musk, so that’s gotta be an improvement.) Let’s leave the inevitable “I never saw a use for Twitter myself” babblings out of this thread, please. ---

They seem to be for sale for from $9 to $29 or so at the Reddit blueskyinvites sub-reddit. ---

This reminds me of when you needed an invite for gmail. We had a thread here for people with extras to invite other dopers. ---

I’m in thanks to @echoreply. The first suggested topic for me was mushrooms. Fair enough. ---

I’ve been trying to track one down so my wife could finally have the incentive to ditch twitter, but I never learned how to PM people😔 ---
