Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

"Normie blocker" is just how abnormies rationalize bad design

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago (13 children)

Except it's not. It's real easy to learn you can choose any instance you're welcome to. Normies are the ones choosing not to learn.

I do feel sorry for them because they're probably going to get pushed to the next billionaires social media in the next decade to be exploited there too.

Unless I'm completely missing something? What's so bad about the design? I'm pretty dumb and uneducated and I dig me some federated social media purely because it's genuine compared to the owning class social media.

I’m pretty dumb and uneducated

Statistically speaking, the mere fact that you are here indicates that you are among the top percentages of tech literal people. This isn't necessarily about intelligence or general education, but about tech literacy.

Brah, I'm not a normie. That's why we're talking on Lemmy. /s

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's... exactly what I'm saying. Did you misunderstand my comment perhaps? Normies are not "choosing" not to learn, they just literally don't have the tech literacy skills to easily participate in the fediverse. The fediverse should improve its UX to allow more people to participate.

Sadly literate and tech literate don't always go hand in hand.
