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?
@Loukas@mastodon.nu I don’t really see much in common with how Truth social and Threads are related to Mastodon. One just allegedly lifted the code to get a website running and completely skipped any sort of federation as far as I understand . The other was built completely separate and is making an effort to specifically federate via AP and Mastodon just happens to be the biggest platform besides them to use that protocol.
