Official account of Bluesky announced that it got 1 million new users since the registration was opened to everyone.
I’m happy for them.
sad that twitter users will jump to literally anything except mastodon. wake me up in 15 years when bluesky finishes its twitter elon musk cycle and it’ll be like i took a 12 second nap
mastodon also refused to implement basic features that make things easier like cross instance searching and quote posting and then started being rude to people asking about them when the initial exodus happened
Same thing is happening with Misskey. A lot of interesting features there that don’t federate. Wonder how Bluesky is going to handle that in their protocol.
Sidenote: a lot of confidently incorrect people in the comments for this (not you). Not really getting people on-board with fedi, are they?
I signed up few days ago, but I learned that I still don’t care about twitter style platforms. I prefer Reddit like platforms where the focus lies on the subject instead of the person.
I kinda get the „this person seems nice/knowledgeable“ but still have issues with the shallowness of conversations, self proclaimed „experts“ and ungodly long and boring posts some of the instances allow for.
For some reason, lemmy allows for even longer posts but here they arent that long and if they are, they’re often structured/formatted, concise and informative instead of just a stream of conciousness.
I feel like twitter-likes need fast, relevant, whitty answers while redditlikes need thought out, deep answers like a forum.
Anyone else feel like this?

There are plenty of short witty responses on Reddit-like platforms too, but I think the context influences what people upvote/like. On Twitter, you only see the tweet and the response, but on reddit-like platforms you see the original topic and responses, before scrolling down to see a specific response.
I wonder how people will feel once more bluesky servers show up and it suddenly becomes “too complicated”.
bluesky is great because - at least in my feed - it’s pretty much tumblr from 2010 but also a safe haven for trans ppl :)
also book twitter - especially romance book twitter - moved over there and that was my favourite part of twitter.
