feels like OSS early adopter folks have been trying to leave for years, legal + media people moved to bsky this month and are starting to close their twitter accounts, younger VC / founder type people are trying to stick it out
some of the oss + scifi author crowd has been making it work on mastodon but may come to bsky. (think like charlie stross)
celeb + sports accounts are joining bsky now post-election, and in theory a bunch of users that will jump with them; insta/threads may still win this slice though
rn on bsky there's an early twitter dynamic of like mark hammill following tech journalists

- moomin 2y agoI suspect that bsky will have very Twitter like problems as it scales. Still might check it out before that happens.
- awinter-py 2y agoyeah, there's a theory of social networks that you have to move to new ones as they age I think twitter aged artificially fast after it stopped investing in moderation and also shut off external researchers' access to the firehose (they were helping discover bad actor networks) bsky seems more open to integrations at this point; like w/ subreddits, ownership of communities by those communities makes maintenance cheaper
