I received my Bluesky invitation a few weeks ago, and from what I can tell Bluesky in its curent state is full of people sharing screenshots from Twitter and complaining about Twitter.

It doesn't feel vibrant to me at all. If anything, it began as an echo chamber on day one and doesn't seem to want to be anything else. As someone who has been on Twitter since early 2008, it certainly doesn't remind me of an early Twitter.
