So with all the hype and media attention, Bluesky has fewer than 100k users. Yes, it is still invite-only, but the number is low compared to other invite-only betas. Spoutible had significantly more users in the first month, with a tenth of the publicity. I am really shocked by these numbers.

And the number of blocks is exceptionally high. 105156 blocks?! It's an invite-only beta with the majority of users sharing the same viewpoints. In comparison, Spoutible only has fewer than 40,000 blocks, with significantly more users.

Other than the fact that BlueSky isn't all that interesting, I find the app clumsy to use.

I really don't understand why people would willingly subject themselves to all the toxicity that that platform allows. The real world is crazy enough. Why go on a platform that's just more of the same or even worse, where it seems you have to block almost every other user you come across?

Seems there is still a race to what will be become the next Twitter replacement, while Twitter itself is slowly going down in flames. How do we compare with services like Tribel, Mastadon, Hive, etc.?

I only ever see discussion about BlueSky come to the Other Place when people are being harassed. I see Spoutible being discussed in the Other Place in terms of how positive the experience is, and how user protection is baked into the design from the start.

This spout was removed because the account associated with it was suspended.

The energy and engagement on Bluesky have tanked in the past few weeks. I check maybe once a day now.

There's only so much "show me your tits" juvenile shit-posting I can take. I'm no prude, but there is no balance. Most folks I know are waiting for the early phase to end to see if it gets better.

Could it be that Bluesky is just “Twitter 2.0” created by the same person? I know I never even considered going there after what he did. Could others feel the same? 🤷‍♀️ Curious how many users Spoutible has to date. I know it is young but I bet it is significant.

The hype and media attention are due to the popularity of Jack Dorsey, the previous CEO of Twitter. Nothing more than that. Also, Jack is well liked by people in the media.

I took my invitation made the account to park my username and never went back. Same for Post, BlackTwitter App and FanBase App, nothing much happening.

I posted this in the early days. I would like to see the format progress to make comments more visible under the initial post, simply to spur more back and forth discussion. But overall my time spent here is very enjoyable.
