So not even 10,000 posts a day. Is it really worth having topics about a barren social network reach the homepage every day?

Hackernews is also a social network - and it seems like this thing works with even less posts per day? You don't need a huge following to have a functioning social group.

It's not even fully open to the public yet. I'm waitlisted. 10k post/day seems great for a closed alpha.

Pretty good for 50k users (and keep in mind almost half a million downloads that can be converted into users)

  50K posting users. I have an account but didn't post anything, like most people on any social media are lurkers.

    They have around 60k registrations, they've stated that in the last 48 hours or so

    No, as of a couple days ago, Bluesky said they had about 50K total users. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/black-tech-twitter-trans-users-marginalized-groups-flock-bluesky-rcna82442 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/black-tech-twitter-trans-users-...

  Maybe it's anti-Elon, or maybe it's anti-the-things-Elon-is-doing-to-Twitter. Just because the people who like Elon have joined a cult of personality doesn't mean the people who dislike what he's done to Twitter have done the same. For example, I still think Tesla's are cool cars and Space X is doing exciting things. For me, Twitter has become absolutely unusable. Every person on my FYP and in the replies is someone with 328 followers, crappy opinions and $8/month to burn. I went from loving Twitter for over a decade to finding it utterly devoid of anything interesting anymore. If you happen to like it more now, that's great, keep using it! But a lot of people simply don't get value out of the app anymore.

Yes. It's interesting, from a tech perspective, to a lot of people here based on its combination of the decentralized nature of the AT protocol combined with usability that seems to work for people (compared to Mastodon). It's small, but it has a lot of interesting ideas behind the scenes and interesting people using it.
