Bluesky’s Userbase Expands Almost Nine Times Over in 2024

1. Everyone should switch to Bluesky, just because it would be REALLY funny to see Twitter fall even though it should be way too big to fail.

   So many competitors have failed to upend it, and this would probably hurt the guy’s ego, too.

2. Switching from my Twitter/X is like switching from r/shitposting to r/Funny, in other words Blue sky isn’t funny at all, it’s boring and lame, don’t get me wrong I would love to see an alternative for X but blue sky isn’t good alternative imo.

   Edit: u/Somepotato blocked me immediately after they replied to my comment just to prevent me from responsing to their reply lmao.

3. So far I enjoy it but I can’t for the life of me get notifications of trending/hot activity, from those I follow and/or not. I hate Twitter (delusionally known as X) but I still occasionally open it because I’ll get a notification of a promoted or trending post, yet that never happens with Bluesky. I’ve checked and enabled all notifications settings both in-app and iOS. I forget the app exists unless I actively want to use it, and stubbornly use X (mainly accidentally from accident taps of the aforementioned notification).

   So, while it could be a feature/draw of the app for all I know, it definitely won’t help my own engagement let alone likely others who also aren’t. I can see using Bluesky for genuine personal use, whereas Twitter/XYZN@zi is just for the occasional company engagement.

4. Didnt it only start up in 2024? Like its not hard to centuple a hundred users (that then started reporting each other en masse for cp if memory serves)

5. Still pushing this failure? It’s not going to replace Twitter anymore than Threads did. In fact, Threads is more successful than Bluesky. When you look at traffic analytics, Bluesky gets about one thousandth of the traffic of Twitter and that’s despite a major multi-weeks propaganda campaign to try and get people to switch.

6. I wish for Bluesky to fail. I want Twitter and all it’s clones to crash and burn and never resurface. This style of social media has bred some of the toxic shit on the internet, and a lot of bled in into our societies. I’m happy that Elon is driving Twitter to the ground because it’s an awful platform, so let’s not revive it under a new name.
