Getting tired of these samey sort of 'look what a revolution Bluesky is' posts. Yes, it's doing well. A boom. A recent boom. But I also anecdotally am not seeing huge swathes of engagement or migration depending on niche. It was like that when the whole Mastodon exodus happened a few years ago also - both in the numerous excitement posts, and the niche-specific migration. Let's just see where it goes. The thoughtpieces are endless and lack any real insight or substantive data.

Someone's pushing really hard to make Bluesky happen. I suppose it lines up with "We need our own Leftist Joe Rogan, and our own Leftist Elon, and our own..."

The Left had all of those things, and it didn't help. (Twitter was theirs, Joe and Elon both used to be Democrats, and if you mean a billionaire buying up comms networks they have George Soros already.)
