I’ve seen similar numbers. Bluesky users are more engaged, more likely to donate or pay for good journalism, and more likely to share it with their friends. Most people have self-selected to be here because they care, and it shows.

And for at least a bit of real world data, Bluesky continues to be the largest single source of traffic (after search) to @techdirt.com. I don't think Threads has ever shown up in any list of referrers. Ever.

I need to expand this into an essay, but bsky is the current incarnation of the place that's good for people who like reading and writing, and this time we need to guard that rather than attacking it with bad metrics goals bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Threads isn't competing with Bluesky. Bluesky is for people who like to read, and a smaller group who like to write as well. We celebrate literature and literacy. We choose whom to follow and respond to. Threads is Meta applying a Tiktok-like algorithm to inane comments. It amplifies drivel.
