It’s only been two days, but it seems clear to me that Bluesky missed its moment to be the Twitter replacement.
It feels like Threads is going to eat Twitter’s lunch, and Bluesky will be a cute niche site. Hope I’m wrong, but feels inevitable already.

I'll repeat a tip I used to find people when I got here: find one person you know (usually the person who invited you) and go through their following list because there are probably mutuals there. Repeat with those mutuals. Soon you'll have a nice timeline of familiar folks. But find new folks too!
Fair. It's a challenge just finding people, and there are way too many social platforms right now.
