Everybody switched to BlueSky, not Mastodon. So, I feel like this whole project has been a failure, especially in the marketing dept.
BlueSky barely got started in Feb, and people immediately jumped ship from Twitter by the millions. Mastodon started nine years ago, and people hardly know what it is.
Bluesky hardly challenges the establishment as far as I can see, they're just more venture capitalists waiting to enshittify.
Doesn't matter. If they haven't convinced people to switch to their platform, they haven't solved the problem of transforming the medium.
How is Bluesky nowadays? Seems very quiet the last time I checked
I see Bluesky handles more than Twitter handles nowadays, even among popular streamers, YouTubers, whoever. And I can't remember the last time I've seen a Mastodon handle.
Everyone who was on Twitter that couldn't handle X moved, it's hopping, their algorithm is as good at discovery as Reddit or Twitter. A great deal of my social network that was on facebook moved right over.
Interesting, I guess it's language dependent, my main social circle doesn't speak English.
that would make sense
