Bluesky ditches invites and opens up to all
The alternative to Elon Musk’s X already has 3 million subscribers but new move opens it up to secure a huge number of additional users
Bluesky, the decentralised social network that was co-founded by former Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey, is expanding its app to all interested users, abandoning an invite-only system that the service used to help regulate growth for the past year.
The social network opened to the public last February, and now claims 3 million users, but Bluesky only allowed new users via an invite code to ensure the technology supporting the network could handle the traffic.
