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?

      Their federation protocol was called ActivityTrack, which is different than ActivityPub that much of the Fediverse uses. There were some efforts to host relays that translate between the two protocols but some people got upset that their data is being accessed and processed in order to do that.
