People are actually on BlueSky
There’s now a decent measurement of #bluesky user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) …
They’ve got about 1.6M MAUs …
& 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.
That’s not nothing!
Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).
Bluesky is quite “international” with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there’s real attrition happening IMO.
Still, let the protocol wars begin I suppose?
@halm@leminal.space Diaspora only federates with Friendica (because the latter has diaspora protocol support). Friendica doesn’t have its “own protocol”, it uses ActivityPub with its own proprietary extensions IIRC.
