Another thought on the Bluesky discourse: Bluesky on its absolute worst, most sanctimonious, most "I think you'll find" day has NOTHING on TikTok comment sections/stitches. But TikTok is growing well. To me, that suggests general user utility/attractiveness may be a bigger issue here.

TikTok is growing well despite the fact that if you post about the nice flowers your boyfriend bought you, the top three comments will be folks telling you that he's cheating, that daily roses are the bare minimum, or that you've set women back 80 years by following patriarchal norms in gifts.

What drove a lot of the "content creators" off Twitter more than its owners politics was his decision to render it useless for outgoing links. Musk made it very difficult to impossible to promote anything on his site. It was utility as much as ideology.

I couldn't put a % on it but an awful lot of X screenshots I've seen on here are for accounts who also have a BS account and have posted the same content here 🤷

Yes, Bluesky users definitely need to get better at quoting Bluesky posts rather than a screenshot of the same post on X.
