I've seen people report they get better engagement on Mastodon and Blue Sky than they ever did with Twitter, based on percentages.

And I’ve seen people report the complete opposite. Both can be true. The reality is BlueSky pushed echo chambering even harder than X and it’s a dying platform - maybe those two things are unrelated but not for me they aren’t. Unless some miracle happens to reverse its trend, BlueSky already had its shot.

Luckily Blue Sky isn't the only competitor in the space, then.

Yes, right.
There is mastadon - dead for mass market, threads - dead entirely.
How many times do people need to be told that network effects are really real?

Threads reports having hundreds of millions of monthly active users.

I have no interest in any of them. The Twitter-style format is inherently toxic and always devolves into a trolling competition or echo chambers. The short format prioritizes stupid takes that fit in a sentence or two over well thought out ideas.
