Bluesky Invite Craze Takes Over Social Media - Are You In or Out?

Bluesky, the Twitter alternative backed by Jack Dorsey, is creating quite a buzz in the tech world. According to the latest App Store data and figures released by the company, consumer demand for Bluesky is sky-high. Despite having just over 50,000 users, the app has seen over 375,000 worldwide installs on iOS as of April 26, 2023. That's pretty impressive!

But here's the catch - getting into Bluesky is not easy. The app still requires an invite to get in, which is hard to come by. This has made the app even more exclusive, and invites have become such a hot commodity that people are selling them for as much as $400 on eBay! That's right, folks - the invite system has turned Bluesky into the hottest ticket in town.

The app's exclusivity has created a frenzied and chaotic vibe that's attracting former Twitter users who haven't quite found their groove in other decentralized Twitter alternatives like Mastodon. But while other would-be Twitter alternatives like Post and T2 have broadened access to their networks, Bluesky is sticking to its guns and limiting access to grow the network organically.

But is this strategy working? Some people don't think so. By limiting invites to one every two weeks, Bluesky is artificially slowing its own growth. It's not clear why the company is doing this. Perhaps it doesn't trust its existing user base to give out invites responsibly, or maybe it wants to have more control over who gets in and who stays out.

Either way, the invite system has turned Bluesky into a real-life version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. People are clamoring for invites, and existing users are being bombarded with requests every day. If you want to get in, your best bet is to become an existing user's best friend for the next two weeks!

All in all, Bluesky is a hot topic in the tech world, and it's not hard to see why. The app's exclusivity has created a real buzz, and it remains to be seen whether the company will loosen its grip and let more people in. For now, the Bluesky craze shows no signs of slowing down.

Ready to join the Bluesky hype train? Well, don't just sit there scrolling through your social media feeds - get on board! Find yourself an existing user's best friend and beg for an invite, or try your luck on eBay (if you're willing to pay the price). Who knows, you could be the next lucky person to join the exclusive Bluesky community.?
