[email protected] is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

Why are people so in love with algorithms? Mastodon has way more users and content but BlueSky has the buzz (lemmy.tf)

As of August 2023, the estimated number of active users for Mastodon, Spoutible, and Bluesky are:

Mastodon: 1.5 million
Spoutible: 20,000
Bluesky: 100,000

It is important to note that these numbers are estimates and may vary depending on the source. Additionally, the definition of "active user" can vary from platform to platform. For example, Mastodon defines an active user as someone who has logged in within the past 30 days, while Spoutible defines an active user as someone who has posted a message within the past 7 days.

It is also worth noting that the number of active users for these platforms has fluctuated over time. For example, Mastodon saw a surge in new users in December 2022 following Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. However, the number of active users has since declined.

Overall, the number of active users for Mastodon, Spoutible, and Bluesky is relatively small compared to other social media platforms. However, these platforms are growing in popularity and may continue to attract new users in the future.

Sorry but I don't get it. Why does bluesky have "the buzz"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I barely hear anything about it. I'm definitely not in the bubbles that would care about it, but maybe OP is also just in a bubble that cares about Bluesky more than average...

Because!

There will be no further questions.
