I’m on Bluesky and tried to get my friends on there too, but without much luck. I don’t find myself using it often.
In my opinion, the problem with Bluesky is that it assumes people want old Twitter/social media back. Beyond their protocols (which the vast majority of social media users do not care about), there is little innovation in the UX or platform. Old Twitter had its moment, and was relevant for a time. But the ship of the last 20ish years of social media has sailed, and people either want something new and different, or they’re ready for it to go away entirely.
- dkobia 3y agoI am in a similar predicament. I tried Threads and that had some traction due to the built-in instagram connection but it doesn't take long to see that the Instagram and Twitter audiences are very different. Bluesky is starting from scratch which is very unattractive to anyone who's built an audience on Twitter from the past 10 years or more even if it seems X (Twitter) is mostly bots these days. From what I can see so far on Bluesky, it seems like a journalist circle jerk.

The C-Suite circle jerk seems far worse. Unlike all other platforms aside from Mastodon, Bluesky is devoid of that top-down control, and I really appreciate that.
