Yeah.. when I saw that and something about joining a waitlist for something that should be developed in public I noped my way out. I hope other people learn have similar BS indicators and don't fall for this stuff. There is nothing open about joining a wait-list.

It’s a waitlist for the first app, not the protocol itself.

Wouldn't it be better to simply have a notification for the newsletter to keep people informed about the community work and where and how they can contribute. The page is full of content suggesting that users are simply to wait back while this supposedly open protocol is developed with no community involvement.
The waitlist is just for the app. We've been developing the protocol in a public repo on Github for months, but most people don't have the patience to follow open source code development, so we'll notify them when we can put a usable app in their hands.
MIT licensed protocol code, public since May: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto
