Except it is not a ghost town..
Massive amount of Brazilians moved there while Twitter was banned in Brazil, many stayed because the moderation tools actually work.. In fact in Brazil due the Twitter ban many newspapers and companies created and are maintaining a presence in both Bluesky and Threads as well..
Then there was a influx of people in Europe after the block changes in Twitter..
Now Trump election sent another batch of people..
Bluesky was the 2 most downloaded app in the both app stores, way ahead of twitter..
If they have not achieved the critical mass needed to replace twitter they are very close..
Sure, some people are still staying behind due their "fake" follower count, what they don't realize is that most of those followers are now abandoned accounts.. But they like seen a big number on their screen, while in Bluesky they would need to start from scratch..
