It seems like most of Japan.
- verdverm 7mo agoJapanese is the second most used language on Bluesky https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_langs.html https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.d...
- esbranson 7mo agoIs the same algorithmic connectivity with Japanese happening on Bluesky as it is on Twitter, or are Bluesky's algorithms just as opaque as Twitter's?
- verdverm 7mo agoI'm not sure myself, however in atproto you can fetch all the data and do analytics, love it or hate it.
- Karrot_Kream 7mo agoJapanese Bluesky isn't even close to Twitter yet. No politicians, no actors and actresses, no seiyuu, no utaite, a few mangaka and light novel authors, nobody that talks about trains, though there is the Frieren official account. There's a few Japanese that are just trying to generally meet new people or some that use Blueksy as a 1 way venting valve. And as usual there are some political Japanese. In fact given how small Japanese Bluesky is the amount of politics is quite shocking given that Japanese tend not to be as vocal about politics on microblogging sites. (2ch on the other hand...)
- ronsor 7mo agoBluesky itself is just a politics magnet.
- numpad0 7mo agoBut the en:ja ratio is like 5:1. Real population ratio between us:jp is like 3:1, and on Twitter it's more like 1.5:1 by active user count. This means Bluesky is less popular in Japan than it is in English speaking regions.
- verdverm 7mo agoyes, and... would be more appropriate than "but" Our points are not mutually exclusive. Thanks for adding more insight. Is your bsky ratio based on actual users or the data at the link? (which is posts by language) Are there similar content stats for the site formerly known as Twitter?
- numpad0 7mo agoAll the numbers I based above comment were either from that link and/or quickly googlable data, nothing special.
