how come nobody has tried releasing a fully functioning twitter alternative? is it really that hard?

- threads has no web interface
- bluesky is invite only, idk if mobile even exists
- mastadon is all the things the glorious creators of it designed it to be and thus isn't very good

- twitter itself seems to be competing in this landscape of broken nonsense

CAN SOMEONE NOT JUST COPY THE OLD TWITTER??

@jbigham bluesky mobile has a twitter-like interface but zero privacy (even blocks are public lol) so it can’t replace twitter. I have an invite if you want it

@JoeWasserman i'm on the web version. i didn't even bother to look for the mobile one, presumably i don't need another invite… or do I?? haha

@jbigham @JoeWasserman it's funny - I had to hunt around and ask to *find* the web version. It was mobile *only* for a while!

(the web version was the "staging" UX)
