Are people still using Bluesky? It's been pegged at around 30M total (not sure of daily) users since it opened up.

It opened more than 1 year ago, and they were celebrating 20m 4 months ago.

Well then it sounds like around 30M users are using it.

  Fair, I meant daily vs total users. User count I saw was from here: https://bsky-users.theo.io/ https://bsky-users.theo.io/

It replaced Twitter for me. I use Bluesky on a daily basis. Closed my Twitter account last week.

  That just means you happen to be in the BS bubble, not that BS has growth potential outside that bubble. The top list shown on the site referred to here is a good example of what this bubble looks like and why BS is unlikely to grow much further. BS is Gab for 'progressives', a left-wing echo chamber. This does not mean that all content on the site is politically left-leaning but it does mean that anything which is in any way political ends up being such and that anyone who dares to voice dissent is treated like a dissident.

Pretty much everyone I know abandoned everything else, with the exception of a few Mastodon users. If it's at 30M still, that's probably the limit to how many people still care at all.

Like many hard-left spaces, they enable mass banning and blocking, enforces arcane speech codes, and imploded on itself quickly because the average person not only finds it bizarre but also boring and lifeless

  Nonsense. Twitter is a scam porn cesspool.

  I don't know what an arcane speech code might be, could I see an example of bsky enforcing this?

Yes they certainly are, with around 32M total users and >2.25M daily active users. [0] https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/index.html https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.d...

Not sure what you’re talking about but it only hit 30M users a little over a month ago.
