People are actually on BlueSky

There’s now a decent measurement of #bluesky user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) …

They’ve got about 1.6M MAUs …
& 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.

That’s not nothing!

Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).

Bluesky is quite “international” with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there’s real attrition happening IMO.

Still, let the protocol wars begin I suppose?

    Fair (kinda the simple explanation why I’m anti-threads-federation).

    While I’m no BlueSky-stan, the idea/promise of the system is a hybrid, which I think is generally worthwhile (especially while things like twitter and threads *dominate*) but also interesting.

    How hybridised it becomes (and can become) is the question though with *big* outstanding questions.
