I am one of these people who recently created an account to give it a look. My entire feed was dominated by anime drawings and people eulogising how good Bluesky is because ???. I could not find anything I was actually interested in. I have not been back.

Thought y'all would find this interesting -- TBH I still thought it was still in closed beta. I'm giving it a shot! Some pioneering soul should start a HackerNews "feed" (AKA bot?).

For comparison, Twitter still has ~368M monthly active users and the big dogs even more (e.g. Reddit at 1.2B), so they've got a long way to go. Still, 10% in 2 days is undeniably impressive. At this rate, they'll be at 337M by EOY!

What’s the cause of the spike?
