Glad I'm not there

Vance is blocked more than Trump? I couldn't have imagined that.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 103 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Trump is not on Bluesky.

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

And it seems odd to presume he would be since he didn't return to Twitter presumably so Truth Social is differentiated by having access to his posts as a way to increase usage

Why is Vance on bluesky? It's where all the people he hates hang out.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

I strongly suspect that Vance doesn't really hate (or love for that matter) anyone. Vance cares about Vance, and will say and do whatever makes life better for Vance in the short term.

And lots of tech-oligarchs that pay to make Vance's life better are on Bluesky.

Oh, I see.

That's what, 0.6% of their users? A lot, but not as many as it would seem

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’d say it’s exponential growth for how many users are super active. Like maybe only 5% of users even know about this new thing. And then 1% even care to use the block feature.

I only use bluesky since some people I used to follow on the birdsite are on there, I don't know if the mastodon instance I'm on is federated with bluesky or not, I don't really use it that often anyway. But I logged on just to block attie and drive up those metrics

[–] 73ms@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

doesn't really make that much sense to look at the registered user total because most of them have already moved on but sure, it's like 2.5% if you compare to the 5 million that have been active within the last month.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

The active users is probably a better metric you're right

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Bluesky leadership: slightly worse than JD Vance. It must not have been easy for them to reach that, but what an achievement.

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

Good that it's decentralized and people can just move on to another provider, since this one is doing this, haha, right?
