More interesting to know is how many viral posts (external to itself) are created. Plenty of mainstream stuff comes out of X for better or worse.
Also funny that mastodon seems to be losing to a company. IMO amount of users is irrelevant.
- dewey 2y ago> Also funny that mastodon seems to be losing to a company. There's value in both, I could see Bluesky as a Twitter alternative (jouralists, brand accounts, viral posts etc.) while Mastodon is like the oldschool blogs that you follow for very specific niches. That's how I currently use it and it works well. There's enough space for multiple platforms, I wouldn't say Mastodon is "losing".
- talldayo 2y agoYep. I'm someone that has no interest in filling my feed with Twitter "experts" and knee-jerk news article posts. Mastodon has been great for me and I don't feel any more compelled to try Bluesky than I feel compelled to try X.
- mariusor 2y agoI think this shows the value of a central focus point for casual users to embrace. Everyone complains about having to choose a Mastodon instance. And here, due to the nature of the already corporatized nature of Bluesky, there is one such central funnel where people can converge.
