Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

I’m sad that a lot of people couldn’t perceive the mastodon in the room.

Didn’t India just ban Twitter or something?

Edit: It was Brazil.

Non-twitter is fine in any form. Real progress is gonna be going to Mastodon, although that’s hamstrung by user-unfriendliness.

I had originally been 100% against Bluesky because of Jack Dorsey, but when he got so steamed about them doing things like actual moderation and left entirely back to Twitter to pettily suck up to Musk, I really started feeling like maybe Bluesky might not be so bad after all.

Create, Grow, Moderate, Sell, Repeat.

The fediverse is seeing an uptick as well. Elons enshitofication continues. Good for us I suppose.

What are blueskys current userbase numbers, mastodons current userbase numbers, and are they federated with each other?

That does not seem to know about Bluesky

It does, however, know about Mastodon.

Right, because FediDB tracks activitypub, which bluesky is not built upon.

…right but, as I said, Mastodon is. Which is what they asked about…

can ,

Oh, right. I guess I forgot all the individual questions. My bad.

lord_ryvan ,

Sure, but dari does not address 2/3rds of their answer. Just posting a link makes it seem like it does. You could’ve added that it only addresses Mastodon’s user base from their answer and not Bluesky’s nor wether they can communicate.

that’s for fediverse. not bluesky

They asked about Mastodon…

noodlejetski ,

are they federated with each other?

no. there’s a sort of a third party bridge, but it requires an account on one platform to follow a bot in order to show up on another, so if someone on Bluesky doesn’t explicitly do it and you’re using Mastodon, then you’re not going to connect.

Two competing federation standards. The VHS and Betamax, or Blu Ray and HD-DVD, of 2024.

lord_ryvan ,

They do not federate with each other AFAIK, Mastodon’s user base is in another user’s answer, Bluesky’s IDK except apparently one million more than before

There isn’t a 1:1 comparison. But the closest comparison looks like Mastodon is on a bit of a decline at 800k MAU. Bluesky is roughly 400k daily likers.
