I never trust meta statistics anymore because you know they're filling out their "numbers" with bots to try and keep their stock prices up.
In terms of real users I bet bluesky has already surpassed them.
I find it odd that people follow Jack Dorsey into another sewer in troves. They seem to like the previous Twitter experiment, while I find it repugnant.
The lesson today is that I don't get the social media phenomenon. My bad. I hope they have a ton of fun.
Jack Dorsey is not part of Bluesky, maybe you don't get things because you don't pay attention.
Jack Dorsey has no involvement in Bluesky. He doesnt even have a Bluesky account.

He's already gone. But, regardless, why sign up for yet another corporate social media site when every single one of them becomes enshittified after a few years. Are they just planning to abandon Bluesky eventually too? Or just hoping that this time it's different?

30 million users and still nobody likes my posts
Sounds disgusting
I agree with you, the number/the rise of users on such platforms makes me feel sick. There literally is a built, proven, & running alternative. The difference is what, "the onboarding process" which instance to choose if you wanna post & vote?
Always reminds me that George Carlin was right
It didn’t say anything except share some stats. What part of that was disgusting?
That that many people are willing to hop on another VC funded platform.
The average person doesn't care about that and large scale development cost money. It doesn't really bother me either if it's being run respectfully and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until it's not.
1/10th the US population! Fantastic!
