Idiot doesn’t realise he is sabotaging all these projects by being such an unpopular loudmouth. So many were comfortable buying Teslas and using Twitter before he got louder and louder.

Bluesky now has 30 million users.

The platform crossed the milestone last night, and it happened about a month and a half after the 25 million mark. Bluesky still has a long way to go to pass Threads, though; Meta’s platform has more than 100 million daily active users. [Media: https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3lgu4lg6j2k2v]

It's absolutely ridiculous how much more fun it is to use Bluesky compared to the toxic wasteland that Twitter had turned into. The search function actually gives me appropriate results, there are real people under posts instead of bots desperately farming engagement, and as of today, I haven't seen a single slur on the platform. This is downright joyful.

I have been using it too. Certainly a notable absence of toxicity there in comparison. Almost feels peaceful browsing it.

I love Bluesky! I'm not being bombarded with ads in my feed every other post.
