It's over twice as popular as it was a year ago.

There was an election combined with it being new - now it's trending to be the next Clubhouse. Remember Clubhouse?

		Bluesky looks to go up then fall back to about half of it's peak. It has the look of a consistently used platform that slowly rolls off users but maintains a solid base. Clubhouse went to the moon then died over a 6 month period. Bluesky would need to drop another 2/3 of it's active users 6 months ago if you wanted your statement to match your data. Bluesky isn't growing exponentially, and is not falling catastrophically. Not a good comparison.

		I see a slight decline of around 15% after the initial surge followed by relatively stable activity. It must be easy to manipulate someone who sees stats through such warped glasses. They are playing you like a fiddle. Or maybe you're just trying to bias other folks.

No, it's down posts year over year, which I wouldn't have believed was possible if it hadn't happened. It's got half as much post traffic as its peak(s), which were on exactly the days that Trump was elected and inaugurated.

It's basically what Truth Social would be if it didn't even have Trump.

edit: it's not the fault of the technology, it's the fault of the awful company. They represent people strongly aligned with the Democratic Party, but with no power in the Democratic Party, and their philosophy has been stated over and over again: if you don't agree with whatever we believe today, we don't even want your support, or want you here, or want you to be employed. A lot of conservatives would add "they also don't want us to be alive."

The worst part is that they're all upper-middle class, and when as the Gini coefficient goes up with the right-wingers they're locking into power by being so repulsive, they'll just get wealthier and wealthier and more self-righteous.

I've been suspecting for years that there's a lot of botted support for the dumbest most out of touch liberals that is paid for by conservatives. I don't meet people like this in real life, and I am very left-wing. The liberals I meet are generally humble and thoughtful (if in love with their television sets.)
