I saw a couple of posts there from Scalzi the other day and I found it interesting that the reasons he says BlueSky is succeeding (which are probably right) are the reasons I'm not using it more. I can socialise on fedi, BlueSky feels like an RSS reader with comments. I'm sure it depends a bit on who you follow etc but I don't think I did anything *that* wildly different when trying out the two platforms, so I do think this is a BlueSky thing more than a me thing.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention. https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/23/24303502/bluesky-next-twitter-threads-x

Social Media is frequently a replication of what goes on at the hotel bar of every SF/F con in the US: A couple of writers are blathering at each other about writing and business and life, and there's a ring of people around them geeking out that they're seeing these two jabber in real time.
