Any social platform, from fb, to reddit and youtube worth only as much as the number of people using it. Less people = less creative mind = less potential friend = less incentive to come use the same platform = less public for creative mind. So social media can only work as a monopoly or quasi. Or it is of no one interest to come on it, if all your friend/favorite creator, are on the other platform.
Ergo, you have to do some proselytism so everyone join the platform you're using. That being said: did you create your account on bluesky?
I currently don't have a BlueSky account. Might do, but I'm not so sure. I don't have a reason to yet.
For me, there is far more content available if I want to doom scroll, especially about a particular topic.
Well that's not true at all. I don't think most of us are going on social media to communicate with billions of people. If we can communicate with tens of thousands of people, or perhaps less than that, but those are high quality communications, that's good enough for many or most of us.
Which is to say, quality of other users, quantity of users, and quality of service are all important when trying to evaluate the overall quality of any social media provider.
Of course your goal could be different if all you want is exposure. If you want to advertise, then large numbers of users might be your priority. But most of us are not doing that.
If none of your family /friend are on facebook, you wont use it. If you cant find like minded people on Lemmy, you wont use it.
Less people mean on average you have less chance to have your friend/family there, or like minded people or 'quality' people. Just on average.
We can argue that some platform get all the good people, but I think that is mostly a false belief
For the most part yes, but not always and also once it gets too big you lose those same creative minds to the sea of trash and mediocrity
