I don't know about "inorganic", but something definitely happened. I only tangentially heard of BlueSky and now suddenly it's everywhere. I mean ... SiriusXM

  Why is it so unbelievable to you that a different platform with seemingly happy users could have a viral moment through word of mouth, right as a whole lot of people are actively seeking alternatives? Let’s put it this way: if a huge amount of people suddenly find themselves done with twitter, what serious alternatives are there beside Bluesky?

    I actually think there are a few, only some have achieved critical mass with smaller subnetworks. BlueSky and Threads both seem to have attracted non-tech networks although Threads downranked political content, so BlueSky seems like the natural next mass appeal product. Others: Mastodon: many tech subnetworks (security, data) Nostr and Warpcast: Crypto
