People are actually on BlueSky

There’s now a decent measurement of #bluesky user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) …

They’ve got about 1.6M MAUs …
& 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.

That’s not nothing!

Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).

Bluesky is quite “international” with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there’s real attrition happening IMO.

Still, let the protocol wars begin I suppose?

    Can you give a more detailed explanation why Activitypup is garbage? And why AT should be any better?

      Some people don’t like ActivityPub because it allows mods/admins to remove their content. If you are the sort of person who believes that a moderator moderating content is “censorship” then the AT protocol is a lot more appealing.

      ActivityPub is not garbage, it’s just missing important aspects. Atproto is good that users get a global view, identity isn’t tethered to a PDS, custom feeds and not at the whims of an admin that can sever any relationships they have or that can delete their account.
