It's still an empty place. I just moved over, and I could find NO ONE with my interests (a common hobby). There are / were thousands of people in this group on twitter. I doubt it's even one percent of even what's left on X.
BlueSky was also not a practical Twitter replacement for a lot of people until a few weeks (!) ago when they finally added video support.
Also, have you not seen the latest user growth stats on BlueSky? Apparently it took the total destruction of the United States postwar consensus to achieve people finally abandoning Twitter en masse, but hey, it's happening in the past week or so.
That's an unusual way of viewing it.
When you're waitlisted for an app that has limited capacity, you take it as not being "wanted"?
Of course they want you! They're just building capacity so that you can have a good experience once they're ready to send you the invite. Don't worry -- you are wanted!
