Bluesky hits 20 million users

I just.. I could never comprehend twitter (or Mastadon, or bluesky for that matter).

The whole structure of the conversation feel like people shouting into an open auditorium. And everyone is shouting at once.

I just do not see the appeal.

Anyone try the bridge? Seems a bit convoluted.

Anything that gets people off Twitter is a good thing. And it means more potential mastodon users later on ;)

Is there anything in Bluesky's design that prevents the company from attracting a critical mass of users and then restricting federation, or cutting it off entirely?

Right-wing crypto funded.

The urge to act like an asshole on another platform is just too much.....

Twitter was a cesspool long before trump, and it was made such by the same people trying to distance themselves from it now.

"Ohh.. I wasn't a cunt on Twitter, I'm one of the people moving away from it".

Such a letdown, I had hoped that with the downfall of Twitter people would finally kick their addictions to vapid trash media.

I won't be joining in until I can actually run a real instance on my own.

I don't plan on doing that, but the important part is knowing that I could.

Damn I sure hope they're gonna pay compensation for all the users they hit

Yay, I finally jumped on the bandwagon at the right time!

I just "secured" my handle there. It's unlikely I'll become a frequent user/poster, but who knows...

What percentage of those are bots?

Tried it, still prefer Mastadon. The amount of shitposts or unrelated posts is incomparable to that of meta's threads, but still quite high to my taste.

Interesting choice for the thumbnail picture. That was pre-butterfly logo. That picture is several months old.

Can I interact/follow bluesky user from mastodon? I run mastodon instance, don't want to run bluesky as well.
