Eugen posted that Mastodon (or maybe m.s?) sign-ups from Brazil are up as well, but has anyone posted numbers/analysis?
Edit:
"Aug 10, 10 sign-ups from #Brazil. Aug 28, 152 sign-ups from Brazil. Today, 4.2k sign-ups from Brazil. Portuguese (Brazil) has already entered the list of top 8 active languages for the last 30 days." - Gargron
I don't like BlueSky, but at least they don't seem to be kowtowing to governments requesting censorship and aiding political candidates like Twitter does, so I guess it's a step up.
What it has going for it is a nuclear block; when you block somebody, their trollish response no longer shows up in the feed of your followers, and your post no longer shows up in feed of their followers. This basically kills trolling as as sport.
The fact that on Mastodon & Lemmy "block" means "I can't see their posts, but they can still summon followers to harass" makes them much less attractive as a platform.
