The "Bluesky is dying" thread is interesting to me because, entirely subjectively, it had seemed like there had been an increase in posts and interaction on here recently. I'd noticed things like football/rugby discussion really spiking after being fairly absent since I joined.
Is there another one already? Practically becoming a career in its own right.
This one here bsky.app/profile/jame...
Agreed. I had also thought there'd been an increase in activity lately - but maybe it is only in Ireland. These "there's no source of revenue so Bluesky is bound to fail" threads seem to pop up regularly, and I think they always will, regardless of actual usage data.
That thread has actual data that interaction is down 25% since the peak in January. I'd be interested to see regional data. Feels like it's picked up in Ireland but, again, that's completely vibes-based on my part.
Also, I am a huge moron. The increase in sports posting that I've noticed could possibly be explained by the fact that there's been a Lions tour, a women's rugby world cup and the start of the Premier League season in the last two months.
I have noticed an increase in discord and scolding posts. Too many naysayers that get my mute button.
Was the data taken before the wishcasting the other night? Because that seemed busy.
Haha, probably a spike in the numbers all right.
