I still have yet to see a BlueSky link in the wild.

OTOH I feel a bit negative towards companies that stayed on X without at least also having either BlueSky or Mastodon

Staying on X is just bad, regardless of what else you do.

Because access to the internet is inequitably distributed throughout society, it is inherently problematic for any privileged class members (e.g. men, white people) to stay on the internet at all.

Check any sports subreddit. I also see them on Discord all the time.

Wow, it really is just sports it seems. I do not follow sports so maybe that explains my lack of seeing these links.

Big events in sports and politics are what drive growth for most social networks. You can almost map every growth spike after the 2024 election to stuff happening in soccer, football, and baseball.

Probably because of the pile on a few months ago about "no X links in my subreddit" because Musk is allegedly a Nazi.

Nope. It's been like this for much longer.

No, the poster you're replying to is 100% correct; after the Elon "nazi salute" incident, many/most of the sports subreddits banned links to X. Given the nature of sports subreddits, which are frequently just links to breaking news from journalists on social media, Bluesky is used as a mirror for X posts which are allowed to be linked in those subreddits. e.g. just pulling from the front page of your link, [0] and [1] are the same post. The Twitter one is the primary source (posted 25 minutes earlier, 10x the engagement).
