This Platform Was Supposed to Replace Twitter. It's Not Going So Well.
Briefly

Bluesky, which surged in popularity after the 2020 election, reached 30 million accounts but has seen a stagnation in user engagement. Currently, the platform has about 36.5 million accounts, though many appear inactive. The site’s community is less vibrant now, with fewer unique posters and interactions. While some users, among whom articles' authors include Alex and Nitish, have adopted Bluesky as their primary microblogging service, the broader public has been slower to engage. This has resulted in persistent discussions about its appeal and potential biases in the user demographic.
