Not sure if this isn't Mastodon all over again. There was huge hype, and then everything died out pretty quickly.

Wasn’t the same thing said about “threads” last year and that other one I forgot the name of 18 months ago?Yesterday the user base exceeded 20 million, gaining almost a million new users per day.
I am no longer using my Twitter/X account and switched to BlueSky
I don't care to support an oligarchy. Putin taught you nothing?So you all need safe spaces, eh? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Threads has several hundred million users. It is by no means "dead".
I have yet to figure out what it is actually useful for though. If they were totally happy with it I don't think Meta would be trying to lure people over there by injecting random posts into people's Instagram feeds.
Delete the content, otherwise Elon can use it to train his AI. The TOS changed last Friday.By the end of the month I will log out of my Twitter account and delete the app on my phone and feel better for it
IMHO, government accounts should only be on platforms that are fully viewable without an account. Twitter used to be good for that, but X has made that worse. Not sure about Bluesky.Still a lot of businesses, journalists, government officials use X extensively. For practical purposes they may not want to leave or dont care about Musks antics or policies. And there are around 400 million X users so too early for BS to make much of an impact.
It's a very "light" use case to me. And I wouldn't read too much into the cross injection. They do the same on FB with insta vids as well.
Elon literally spent 44 billion dollars to create a safe space for conservatives.So you all need safe spaces, eh? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Musk takes over and use of the word n***er goes up 500%. And before you claim free speech a reporter who posted a JD Vance dossier on Twitter was banned.Elon literally spent 44 billion dollars to create a safe space for conservatives.
I do think it's different, but still technically "social media". Primary difference being there is no algorithm determining what content we're presented here, by default you see whatever threads get created, or the ones that have been updated most recently. Social media tending to be driven by individuals/topics you've followed, and associated content the platform's algorithm has determined to present to you. I haven't really been able to engage much with that form of media feed.Meh, the only social media I use is this forum. And, is it really social media? I just don't have the energy to be hopping all over different platforms.
There's this...Every time I see the word Bluesky it just reminds me of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse because of that one episode where a character had 'Blue Skies' as a catchphrase.
Jack is no longer affiliated with bluesky, he left in a fit - https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/5/24149543/jack-dorsey-gone-bluesky-boardTHE PROBLEM WITH BLUESKY is that Jack is gonna take the company public at some point at which time some billionaire asshole might just buy it up and rebrand it Truth 3.0. Again.
