Learn how to join Bluesky, Twitter's competitor

Have you heard of Bluesky? If you're a Twitter user, you're probably already a little familiar with this term. If not, we'll explain: this is the social network that intends to dethrone the little blue bird.

The substitution of one for the other has an extra taste because the owner of Bluesky is the former owner of Twitter – which sold the social network to billionaire Elon Musk.

How to join the Bluesky social network?

For now there are only two ways to create an account at Bluesky: by waiting list or by invitation.

• Enter your email address (one you access frequently)
• Click on “join waitlist” (“join the waiting list”, in free translation).

Now is just wait. An invitation will arrive in your email (so it must be an email address that you access frequently, so as not to miss the timing. However, keep in mind that this may take time, after all, many people also want to test the novelty.

Hey, can you get me an invite?

Now, if you are a well-connected person and know someone who is already using Bluesky, you can ask for an invitation.

Those who are already using the social network have the privilege of inviting friends to create an account too – just like the late one worked orkut, if you were from that time too.
