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.
30 million users and still nobody likes my posts
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 has no involvement in Bluesky. He doesnt even have a Bluesky account.

Jack Dorsey is not part of Bluesky, maybe you don't get things because you don't pay attention.
I didn't like Twitter as a social platform, but I did use it a lot for news on current events, such as how is the traffic on my route home, and why am I stuck in traffic, and how many miles ahead of me is the fucking accident?
Handy for communication during some kind of emergency that floods the phone network, but that's pretty niche. Anyway, I interact a little on Bluesky but mostly it's just a time killer like TikTok or whatever. Twitter was super easy to quit between the Musk take over and moving away from DC.

Any maps app, especially Google Maps, would do this as well.
Eh... what I really wanted to know was when they are going to clear the wreck and whether that stupid mother fucker died so I shouldn't flip them off as I drive by. Can Google Maps tell me that?
I didn't really want to out myself as the asshole wishing for someone's death. But here we are.

Tried it last night for a hockey game. I still think I'm not using it correctly but people were nice.
There’s no right or wrong way. For it to be fun for an event like that you need to follow lots of people in that space. Like journalist, reporters, beat writers and analysts. However if you don’t want that content in your feed full time you could try searching one of the teams hashtags and use the latest tab to follow along. You can also take all those suggested follows and make a list to pin to your BlueSky front page without following them and just goto that feed during games.
Oh interesting, thanks! I figured out the hashtaga bit but a lot of fun popped up without the hashtaga etc.
I suppose I'll just keep muddling along and figure something that works for me while trying to be a net positive influence!
