What aren't they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?
Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.
Mastodon or Lemmy, because you would have to choose an instance and a client. Threads, because why would you?
I'll use Bluesky before I use Threads. I don't want to get sucked further into the Zuckerborg.
For me there weren't enough people on Mastodon in my hobby to make it worthwhile.
Would be hilarious if Musk buy that too.
We're seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there's no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don't get any headlines.
The most important, how many people will stay.
Been there for over a year now and fwiw, this wave feels more sustainable than before. In previous waves, a lot of people went back to Twitter after a week because Twitter still had "the juice" and Bluesky didn't, but with 15 now million members and decent engagement, this is starting to turn around.
Going from one shitty capitalist business to another shitty capitalist business.
I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.
Bluesky is popping off lately it feels even more lively and the block tools are great.
Sigh, here we go again. I jumped on board because it’s where my friends are. Was pleasantly surprised that most of my old twitter follows are already there. Still, given the history I’m being careful and ready for the next enshittification exodus.
I wish folks would just embrace self hosting and decentralization but we obviously love to make the same mistakes again, and again, and again…
Bluesky is not as decentralized as you think.. Just saying.
Bluesky is not decentralized at all.
I wonder how long it'll last before it gets all spammy.
My wife signed up and immediately got spam followers peddling their grindset business growth hacking bullshit, a porn bot, and an “inspirational quotes” karma farming bot.
