Maybe a small fraction would move to Mbin, but I doubt Lemmy and PieFed would see significant growth. I suspect most BlueSky users would move to Twitter, Threads, or Mastodon.

Lol they’re not going back to Twitter ever
A small reddit alternative known as Discuit, for some reason, picked up a bunch of Imgur users over a recent controversy. Not a huge amount overall given how small the site is, but it seemed to boost their activity and numbers by something like 50%.
Like you'd only need a few thousand or so to move here to really boost the site a bit.
Is that why I'm seeing more users on mastodon lately?
Most of them will probably go to Threads (because Zuck is a fact of life, like death and taxes, and already owns their Instagram connections) or to Xitter (better the devil you know, and all that). The fediverse is just too weird, between the multiple servers thing and the furries and preachy trekkies and weird customs like posting photos of flowers and not deadnaming people and stuff.
Aren't both xitter and bsky were full of furries? That's their main source of exposition
Interesting, we are seeing both reddit and bluesky having....issues...all around the same time.
Is Bluesky about to implode? I guess I'm ootl
Always talk about the "competition" imploding around here. To hear lemmy talk, Windows, X, reddit and Bluesky are 2-seconds from their death throes.
I figure it's mostly young folks who haven't had a few decades to see who the world works. Hell, even if you got several decades under your belt, shit changes fast!
Bluesky won't implode, at least not yet, and only a small number of its users would end up on the fediverse. I'm sure they'd love any of the sharkey/iceshrimp instances, if they could figure which one to join
Probably not. One of the main complaints of Mastodon I've seen on bsky is that it's "Twitter but run by Reddit mods" so I doubt they'd be interested in here.
I am glad Mastodon is semi-matured now. Unlike peertube and FB alternatives.
Is there any alternative to Facebook really? And what is FB supposed to be anyways?
I've heard people talk about frendica but I have no clue if it's any good. I think it's meant to be a way to connect to people you know in passing IRL. Or that's how I've seen it be used.
Maintaining company, personal, joke pages from a single account and posting events. Also, private post based groups.
If the management on BlueSky is getting bad users could just move to another instance right? ...Right?
/s if it's not obvious
Actually, users can move to another instance, and it works better than on mastodon.
I moved my account to altq.net recently.
Bluesky is centralized service operated by a for profit company
I am using bluesky right now without touching bluesky's infrastructure. It's decentralised.
Imagine getting your worldview form reddit lmao
