I agree, it seems all over the place now. Mostly another version of Threads. What I miss is when there's breaking news, the Old Bird seemed to have it covered, much like your very own wire service. Now it's Troll City with a few exceptions.

Cant wait to see what he does with the economy. He's a worse business person than DJT

Worse than DJT? That's actually impressive.

I have a family member who worked for an engineering/architectural firm that got into bed with Tesla a few years ago. It was a fiasco. The company had to do some major downsizing as a result. 
 

Musk is another one of those guys who thinks he's the smartest in the room.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he seems like the type of person who swoops into companies just to get their products, and has little or no understanding of how to build a line of products from beginning to end.

Im stoked you guys are digging bsky.   Ive been there since July or so exclusively and it did help be break ties with X no doubt.   With the most recent migration of people since the election is looking a lot more like pre Leon twitter. 

We even have AOC saying shes all about alf hog now so its got juice.

So, I had joined Bluesky on an invite last year, tried it out for a few days, saw it wasn't really getting much traction, and bailed, just like most people.

This time feels different. I went to recreat my news/politics feed from Twitter and went to my Following list there to try to follow those same accounts at bsky. I would say that roughly two-thirds of them are not yet there as of this minute, including some real major Twitter players. Of the one-third that are at bsky, I see several of them posted a lot in the June to July 2023 timeframe, then not at all until anywhere from a month ago to a few hours ago.

So it seems like people are rediscovering bsky, and I would bet there will be a huge surge in users and usage every day for the next few weeks, and the Bluesky Surge will become an actual news story at some point before the holidays really get revved up.

Too bad I can't invest a few bucks in them right now. 😁

Someone needs to make a MTS starter pack 🙂.  Bluesky has been a breath of fresh air.  Once the sports, breaking news and dog content picks up, it'll be perfect!

Yup. Slowly adding people, and I’m hoping more join soon. 
 

Remember when everyone tried Hive after Elmo bought Twitter? That didn’t last. Bluesky seems like the best alternative so far.
