That's to be expected. What remains to be seen is how many of them will stick around after the initial surge.
Im more curious how many are bots made to look like its booming with traffic
idk. After they dropped invite codes, they started requiring phone numbers for sign up.
Because those aren't incredibly easy to spoof or anything?
Exactly, they aren't.
I registered with a VoIP number that a free app gave me. I doubt they're blocking all the freely available "temp sms" numbers out there.

Yeah, no thanks. I'm good with Lemmy and Mastodon.
Same - I was mildly curious to be honest, but not nearly enough to give them my phone number.
Goodbye Bluesky
whoever made that graph needs to learn how to properly space their horizontal axis labels
How quickly will it become a serious contender against Twitter?
I'll stick with lemmy, but I'd love to bathe in some schadenfreude at musks expense.

Engagement :
"Hello world!"
"Hi"
"Welcome"
"Hi"
That's the beauty of it already being a thriving forum before opening up to the public, there's a lot of ongoing content beyond people logging on and saying hi for the first time.
What is it?
What is bluesky? Basically a twitter clone that was spun off as it's own thing by the twitter team that was working on federation when Musk took over. It's pretty good if you liked the pre-Musk twitter vibe or a slightly smaller scale and leftier version of it.

Ah yes another commercial social media platform taking the first steps in the enshitification process. We've seen this all before in the early days of other platforms before the decay sets in.
They have more posts than lemmy has active users. Nice
I don't understand the categories' purpose here. Can't someone be all three? Or are they presented as a hierarchy, like "likers" have liked but not followed or posted, "followers" have followed someone but not posted, while "posters" have posted?

As if they didn't learned their lessor with Twitter.
I'm curious what lesson learned from twitter easily also applies to bluesky, as that's genuinely not very clear to me.
That going into corporate, VC funded, centralization focused and privately controlled social network is not good long-term idea.
Myself I have nothing against profit itself, but the relationship of how single entity can manage network.
But they're (allegedly soon) federated and say they want to give control of the protocol over to an independent standards body. So like, half of the stuff you're saying might not even really apply here.
