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.
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.
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.
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.
I browse all and the front page of lemmy.ml. I don’t usually seek out specific communities.
Are you sure you want my answers?
A lot of the time I’ll read a thread, realise I have nothing useful to add, and move on.
Many is the time I’ve gotten halfway through typing a response only to lose interest in my own opinion.
Same here. I type a response, read before submitting, only to decide it is not worth putting out anyway. I only manage to submit comments when it is related to cooking.
Oh man, that’s the wor
Thi-
I’m here, I don’t answer to anywhere near all questions I see though.
Got banned from Reddit. Also Reddit is acting like a piece of shit
What is this drama this person is talking about?
Probably the thing about a lemy.ml admin doxing some random user some 25 times. Which is VERY not ok.
How is linking to freely and publicly available information to their profile links considered doxxing?
It looks like it’s a different situation. One thing is linking one account to other account, if it’s relevant. Other thing is leaving all your stuff at once, perfect for someone stalking you. That person was completely stalking that user.
Yeah well, that’s not doxxing.

Ah, the proudest of leftist traditions: Disagreeing with other leftists. Serves us right for not being brain-dead reactionaries. Can’t spell critical thinking without the C, I and A.
Where? I wanna play!

Good point, everyone filled up their block lists because of the shitty election and the shitty First-past-the-post voting system dividing the working class against itself.
Don’t forget to block me to!

No idea about anyone else, but I tend to only chime in if the question spurs some kind of thought, or I have a story that matches, or some other kind of quasi useful input.
So it can be weeks before I jump in, or multiples in the same day.
I answer if I see it and I can answer
I know beggars can’t be choosers and if every rule breaking post was removed this community would probably only have a few posts left- but frankly, most of the questions just aren’t very good
Thanks for this post. Yet another power tripper that is blocked (from the drama link)
Most people are in [email protected]
We’re all in better Ask Lemmy on .world
that’s in interesting perspective since i’m seeing the opposite with responses to all the questions.
i go through asklemmy every morning while i’m caffeinating at the start of each day because the questions usually wake me up with a WTF or a TIL.
i must be on their blocked list. lol
also: i wonder at how it weighs on your soul & outlook to feel like you have to curate such a list in a safe space.
