Discovery and visibility is also much better there, with most if not all the hate and negativity being gone. The community has come up with ways to nip that stuff in the bud.

I don't think there should be any more excuses for Twitter. It's clear Bluesky is rapidly gaining in popularity and will be here to stay. The more people leave Twitter for Bluesky the more attractive it'll be for companies, celebrities, and influencers (a lot of them already have done so, I know Remedy Entertainment made an account there). If you have friends still over there try to convince them to switch.

I've noticed that lately Twitter has been showing me a lot more "grassroots" content about stuff, like Bluesky is. Probably just Elon switching the rage machine off after the election though.
binga
Never made a Twitter account, but I do plan on making a Bluesky account soon.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.
deplatform twitter and it will be one
I thought bluesky was a streaming service...

i have been on bluesky a lot. A big contributing factor is that it is so much easier to block out the worst there it is honestly unbelievable. I have seen game devs slowly but surely making accounts there but I am still waiting on bands to start getting on there.

If the rumor that Twitter is merging with TruthSocial has any...truth to it, expect Bluesky to take the #1 spot.

Good. Elon (and Trump) decided to ruin Twitter/X what with their shitty-ass "anybody can become a verified user" thing and "hey let's get more right-wing racist content on here" thing, so too bad.

That's an outcome I completely expect, tbh. If not a merger, then Twitter crashing and burning with all its (right-wing) users moving to TruthSocial.

I'm assuming app stores. But yeah, more and more people have been joining every day, it's got 10+ million peeps right now.

Trust me, if I was making stuff up I'd definitely be saying that it's number 1 by a significant margin, lol.

Now all the celebrities and companies and such need to switch

You could just link to where you're getting this from. It sounds like complete BS otherwise.

I was just wondering about the criteria because I see that stat posted a lot here but Ive never met anyone that knows what blue sky is and its never in the top charts of the Apple App Store that I see.

Digging through all the lists now I found it at #8 in new free apps.

On the Playstore currently Facebook is 4, Twitter is 5, and Bluesky is 6.
Fans are the worst thing about being a fan.

Google Play Store also lists it at the top of "Popular Apps" but I don't know if that means it's #1 on there or just lists them off in random order.

I've been on the platform since it was invite-only and a lot of people are complaining about how the quality of the platform's getting worse as more people join.
Thanks for reading!

And it has a feature you can auto-block MAGA accounts simply by subscribing to a certain account.
Insert some witty line here
I really need to sign up for that. More and more are moving there now. The election and Elon's latest shit causing another surge.

If we can get enough people join it, Zuck/Elon/Bezos will be interested in buying it.

Bluesky is lovely. And it has a functional block button. And lists to insta block stuff you don't like like AI stuff and crypto BS.
Corruption that you can believe in.

Dorsey was involved with bluesky and has already fucked off explicitly because he didn't like that they actually wanted moderation (read: they, unlike Twitter and even Facebook, want Nazis banned) on the site

I hope this results in the other three also fucking off

The moment artists migrate to bluesky as a whole will be the RIP for twitter
Most artists already have both an active Twitter and Bluesky account, but the death knell for Twitter will be direct posting app integration. "Post to Twitter" options in smartphone apps and consoles was how Twitter blew up in the first place.
...I think I'm done here...

That's pretty much happened to the majority of them already, lol. Especially with the news that everything posted on Twitter would be required to be scraped for data.

I think an unspoken advantage of Twitter is that it's used by brands, celebrities, and governments. I don't know if the pope will make a bluesky account anytime soon.

Threads, Facebook, and Instagram are all more popular than anything by a wide margin except for TikTok.

But Bluesky is taking over Twitter's spot. There's some people reporting that they have more followers on Bluesky than they do on Twitter.

And once enough people are on Bluesky the brands and celebrities will follow. They will go where the people are.

It's not a war crime the first time.

I deactivated my 11 year old account there and I don't miss it.

A thing I like about Bluesky is the ability to organize stuff into teeds; it makes it easier to keep tabs on soccer without my following being just overwhelmed with soccer posters. There's also a very useful feed I follow which just has gift links to paywalled articles.

Im hoping everyone I follow goes there. Twitter is so insufferable lately, even after the election.
My experience with Bluesky hasnt been very good. Only a few artists I follow have an account and most that do havent posted there since the end of October last year (what is significant about the end of October 2023 that made a bunch of accounts to stop posting?). I also got instantly follow by some bot account that it wont let me remove from my followers list.

If you block the bot it deletes it from your followers.

Also shit has exploded since October 2023. There's over 14 million users now.
