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?
Most people dont give a fuck. They just want something better than X and popular. “Power hungry capitalism” doesn’t even cross their minds.
