"The irony of all this? While conservatives were genuinely forced to flee platforms like Twitter and Facebook due to actual deplatforming, liberals are fleeing because they’re finally being exposed to opposing viewpoints. It appears that many truly cannot handle their ideas questioned or mocked. #Bluesky, with its invite-only model, has become a safe space where they can insulate themselves from the pesky conservatives who dare to challenge their talking points."

Their invite-only model creates a universal blocklist that you have to get "allowed" on, and it can be revoked.

They have one relay-community and you have to be invited to enter it. We have n number of relay-communities, some with invites, some without, and anyone can spin up their own. Takes about 15-30 minutes to create one, at this point, and keeps getting faster, even if you self-host. We are heading toward #OneClickRelays .

They don't like the idea that you don't need an invite to use the Nostr protocol, but that is why Nostr precludes censorship. You "onboard" to Nostr by SELECTING A NEARLY-RANDOM STRING OF CHARACTERS.
