I moved over from Twitter to Bluesky with the big wave (I've been using it since mid-2023 however). It's everything I've wanted from the community to the engagement. What's more, I'm not punished for linking to my blog! Everything I could have asked for.

    This website seems to have scaled a lot in recent times, given higher rankings on SERPs. I know that we should do things that don't scale, but I really don't understand how one person can pay this much attention. Kudos Dan.

I've gradually moved over to Mastodon for most of my posting. The pocket of Fedi I reside within (queer fedi) is quite nice. Last year, I seriously started using Bluesky. It's okay, but a little too much like "old Twitter" for my tastes. I still use it, but my most interesting posts go on Fedi. This is all to say, Bluesky has replaced Twitter for me, but I was already phasing it out.

  I found the same. It's impressive how much bluesky resembles twitter, but I'm not sure if that's a compliment. On Mastadon I find much smaller circles, but much more engaged. I think bluesky is winning at discovery. If I want to feel the pulse on a topic, bluesky is winning. If I'm not even aware there's a topic that I want to feel the pulse on, bluesky is winning. But I think mastadon has been successful at curating a very different 'vibe', and I appreciate it. So I catch up on mastadon first, and then doomscroll bluesky if I need to find work for idle hands.
