That's to be expected. What remains to be seen is how many of them will stick around after the initial surge.

oh nice. If this trend continues, they will be by 4 million tommorrow and 20 million next week and by summer every human on earth will have an account.
And then onward to the extraterrestrial market!
Disco Stu would be proud.
Yeah, no thanks. I'm good with Lemmy and Mastodon.
Same - I was mildly curious to be honest, but not nearly enough to give them my phone number.
I had never even heard of bluesky before and also not really interested. Looks like another Twitter replacement, but I never really got into twitter to start with.
I saw the title and I was like "1987 blue sky studios is open to the public? The hell does that mean?"
Bluesky is supposed to be Twitter 2.0 - Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter, is on the board for Bluesky and was supposedly very involved in building the platform. So in theory it could be a lot of things that Twitter wished it could, or it could just be bad like most other socials.
Either way if you have an interest in the tech world it's probably worth keeping an eye on.
Is it weird that I'm enamored by technological improvements but mostly disgusted by the "tech world" ?
Nah I don't think so.
Goodbye Bluesky
Engagement :
"Hello world!"
"Hi"
"Welcome"
"Hi"
That's the beauty of it already being a thriving forum before opening up to the public, there's a lot of ongoing content beyond people logging on and saying hi for the first time.
What is it?
What is bluesky? Basically a twitter clone that was spun off as it's own thing by the twitter team that was working on federation when Musk took over. It's pretty good if you liked the pre-Musk twitter vibe or a slightly smaller scale and leftier version of it.

Ah yes another commercial social media platform taking the first steps in the enshitification process. We've seen this all before in the early days of other platforms before the decay sets in.
They have more posts than lemmy has active users. Nice
I don't understand the categories' purpose here. Can't someone be all three? Or are they presented as a hierarchy, like "likers" have liked but not followed or posted, "followers" have followed someone but not posted, while "posters" have posted?

It could still grow even more as they haven't opened registration to all countries yet.
Is that so? I haven't heard anything about registrations only be open in certain countries.
The signup form requires sms verification, but they can't send the sms to all countries yet.
Ah bummer, that is annoying.
