All I see are rows of empty questions. Did something scare everyone away? Don't tell me everything got empty after the last drama happened.

Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.

The dotnet conference is happening right now and I was surprised to hear a couple of the speakers advertising their Bluesky. They had accounts on other social media too, but that seemed to be their main one. These are tech enthusiasts so it makes some sense, but it's always seemed like an afterthought whenever I've seen profiles linked before.

brazil jumped from twitter, that was a huge part of it. the election caused another wave.

bluesky is just twitter with faux-federation. it will end up with the same issues eventually when its board decides to recoup.

What's Bluesky? First time hearing that

You're living under a rock, aren't you? I keep reading about it nearly everywhere, way more than I would like to.

It's a microblogging platform, i.e. replacement for Twitter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky

Bluesky grew by a million users in a week.
