I just signed up on BlueSky to follow the Twitter exodus (I know we're supposed to call it X now, but that will never stick for me...), but with the multiplication of microblogging sites and the gradual abandonment of an aging Facebook, I wonder what BS (oh no, that acronym certainly doesn’t help...) will bring that’s different, new, and refreshing. We've seen what Meta tried to do with Threads, we've seen Mastodon try something that didn’t quite take off, and there’s no way I’m going for ultra-niche platforms (except for Pinkary <3). So, BlueSky or no BlueSky?

I've found it to be much more engaging and just plain fun than Twitter. As such, it has become my go-to platform for now. Future can always change, but I'm enjoying what it is at the moment.

Comparing to Threads or to "what Twitter used to be before Elon's takeover", BlueSky is superior?

Agreed. I was at sxsw when twitter exploded the first time and this has that same feel. Tech people swarmed first and then it really took off after that. It's reached a critical mass that's gonna be hard to stop. Twitter is now just "I use it sometimes" and Bsky is going to be my primary. I don't hate twitter or anything I just believe we need more than one with enough people. Consumers win when there is good competition.
