The big one seems to be BlueSky
At nine hours and 32 minutes a day, Brazilians rank second globally in average daily internet use, just after South Africans,
Jesus Christ, Brazil. Posting like it’s a full time job.
Gotta do something while resting on a luxurious beach and/or chained to a rain forest tree in protest.
Eugen posted that Mastodon (or maybe m.s?) sign-ups from Brazil are up as well, but has anyone posted numbers/analysis?
Edit: “Aug 10, 10 sign-ups from #Brazil. Aug 28, 152 sign-ups from Brazil. Today, 4.2k sign-ups from Brazil. Portuguese (Brazil) has already entered the list of top 8 active languages for the last 30 days.” - Gargron
4.2 is tiny; other platforms are getting hundreds of thousands per day.
It’s small enough that the Mastodon use stats show it as noise.
Yep. Bluesky just got over 500k new users.
Bluesky should stop pushing their own protocol and adopt ActivityPub and the Fediverse. They really don’t offer anything that Mastodon or even Threads already have. It’s another centralized mess in the making.
Composable moderation/custom labeling and custom algorithmic feeds are two things that Mastodon doesn’t have that Bluesky does.
I don’t like BlueSky, but at least they don’t seem to be kowtowing to governments requesting censorship and aiding political candidates like Twitter does, so I guess it’s a step up.
What it has going for it is a nuclear block; when you block somebody, their trollish response no longer shows up in the feed of your followers, and your post no longer shows up in feed of their followers. This basically kills trolling as as sport.
The fact that on Mastodon & Lemmy “block” means “I can’t see their posts, but they can still summon followers to harass” makes them much less attractive as a platform.
