BlueSky collecting the twitter users leaving en-masse




Why do it say TBA?

Daily users of X, previously known as Twitter, have declined consistently since Musk acquired it in 2022. Last year, it had roughly 250 million daily active users and Musk claimed that the total would grow to 1 billion in 2024. On election day last week, X had only 162 million daily users—and even that was a yearly high, according to Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm that tracks the platform. A day later, that number had already dropped by 5 million, to 157 million daily users.

Under Musk's ownership, X has lost an average of 14% of its users monthly, according to Sensor Tower. Despite the slight boost in daily users on the day of the election, an “elongated slide in active users” has continued, Sensor Tower’s research lead Seema Shah told Fortune.

over 16 Million as of today :D

On its official account, Bluesky said on Tuesday it welcomed one million new users in the past week. Bluesky hit the 15 million user mark on Wednesday and had already passed 16 million as of Thursday afternoon, according to a live stat-tracker by Jaz, whose Bluesky profile says they work at the company.

outages came and went, users kept updated by the team and I love this post of theirs:

"Today will get interesting! If the site goes down, maybe grab a soda, pet the kitty. We'll hit it with a wrench as fast as we can," he said in a post.

Frazee said outages often include errors with user handles, post likes, and publishing a post. Bluesky didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

no worries.. the influx of new users will always present teething problems. worth it :) I've been playing on there today after moving a fallen dead tree limb off the truck... the sun disappeared and it's been yucky outside but at least last night's winds have disappeared. Anyway, the outages and issues have really been minor, for me at least.

I joined Bluesky yesterday, as a lot of my online-only friends are migrating over there.
If anyone from here wants to connect, PM me for my handle.
 
the content is as diverse as the people using it... i was looking for a bread/cookery group to use and made the mistake of clicking on the name Bread thinking it was a group. It was a user... some very overweight, masked like a Mexican wrestler, fan of genital and nipple ornaments having a wank. It wasn't Paul Hollywood for sure.
 
I made the move yesterday but they are missing a lot of the sports media that I follow. Hopefully they start moving there soon.
 
After reading this thread I checked my Twitter profile,I have lost 10% of following and followers since the election.
 
Truth Social?
I don’t use it, but I think it’s too small a special interest bubble for that.

People used to speak of “bubbles” as bad things… the suggestion being that narrow thinking and confirmation bias were inherently “bad”, right?

Truth is we always divided ourselves into different social bubbles…. Religions, political parties, sports teams, favorite pickup truck brand… it can get pretty granular.

So now the reaction to the giant bubbles is a cycle of smaller bubbles with different flavors.

Meta Facebook Insta Threads has several flavors of its data on you to attract you.

Musk narrowed Twitter into X.

The users he didnt want are now finding new smaller bubbles of their own like bluesky, which will pretend to be “free” for a while until the investors suck enough data out of butters and her kind to get rich off them along with all the other data thieves.

I think socmed is mostly crap for lonely and unhappy people, so to me its all flawed.
