I saw bluesky take off and get millions of users right away. Appearently they have 38 million users now.

I guess advertising works... :p

It is the barrier to entry - most people probably stopped on "choose a server".

The concept of Lemmy being servers was easy for me to understand (thanks MMOs, I guess?), but having to jump through hoops to actually sign up with many of them was the primary difficulty. Nobody wants to have to write an essay on why they should be accepted to a server.

Bluesky isn't open tech. The masses will flock to low barrier to entry walled gardens. They can have them.
