Eh, BlueSky seems to be actually gaining some traction now, enough so that celebs and brands are jumping ship, so maybe just give it a few months and let it rot.

Don't let the garbage sit until it rots. It will attract flies and possible more garbage.

Bsky has 20 million users, which is great, basically doubled in a month, but twitter has hundreds of millions of users. We talking a different order of magnitude.

While I definitely agree, enough momentum going both ways, alongside perhaps people choosing to leave Mastodon and Threads to go to the "winner of the alternatives" could sway this to a point where BlueSky is no longer the minnow here. Given that we're only weeks detached from Trump's win, I can only see it getting worse for Twitter, to the point where I can see Elon just selling it and moving on - perhaps even to BlueSky if Jack wanted a cut price deal.

FYI a lot of people on Lemmy use the fact Jack Dorsey was involved in Bluesky as a way to attack it, but that’s not super accurate.

He completely left bluesky a year ago and even deleted his account, he has no involvement with it whatsoever anymore.

He's more of a fan of nostr, given how he is a crypto bro, that tracks.

Curves being what they are, these numbers don’t mean much. Yes twitter has more users but if bsky crosses some threshold, their user count can begin to catch up quickly.

How many bots and duplicate accounts on Twitter though?
