Keep in mind that I barely use it and only follow a few people I followed from TwiX.

People seemed friendly enough but there is a lot of self-serving navel gazing, and it seems like the "Discover" feed is full of inside jokes/references that I don't use the app enough to get.

My first day the big thing was complaining about how terrible and bigoted the devs of bluesky were, for something they said that I never did figure out, and the subsequent complaining about people complaining about the devs. Very dramatic.

To be fair, I'm sure if you just followed the people you cared about, and avoided the discover feed, it would be pretty Twitter-like.

Also, there's a character limit and you can't edit. These aren't technical limitations anymore, like they were for Twitter at the beginning, so they must be design decisions.

If I had an invite left I'd give you one.

That kills any interest I might have had. I make embarrassing typos often enough that editing is a must-have feature.

I would expect that to be an upcoming feature, similar to how Threads is bolting on things like DMs. That's probably part of why it still requires an invite.
