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?
@maegul @fediverse
but afaik they aren’t effectively decentralized yet. might as well use Twitter.
Yup. they “decentralised” servers for hosting profile info but it’s still totally centralised for receiving and sending posts.
