Bluesky is still trending downward in activity and has been losing popularity over the last year.
I suspect that's pretty common for something that's been in the news quite a bit: you get occasional big jumps in attention & usage, and then only some smaller percentage of users will stick around longer term. When you're getting such big spikes in signups this is unavoidable I think - even with new users coming in, the descent from the spike overwhelms any other trends.
The interesting question is whether that settles down into a slow steady sustainable state eventually. Looks plausible but still unclear imo.
which is my favorite reason to be there and i hope it doesn't change.
it's full of instagram and facebook users, which to use the common parlance, are all "normies." it's full of normal people have normal opinions in small spaces. there's very little viral posts or bits or memes that are carried outwards.
that being said dril started posting again there recently as have some other bigger ex weird twitter people so who knows.
All jokes aside, it's an endless stream of takes from people who don't have an internal monologue. Plus some influencers trying their hand with unoriginal bait threads. Like the other poster said, it's worth checking out every now and again just to read some comments from folks who aren't thought leaders.
