@nopatience bsky is where you go if you want:
- just raw numbers of followers. as if they are currency
- you want to gush about bsky
- you want to talk about politics
i have had trouble even just trying to start conversations there, and i did a thread test last week and masto depantsed bsky gruesomely.
here, i had a mult-day thread that was very successful - there it was completely ignored. outright. one respondent, but he moved here. so im not counting him.
@Viss Yes, this! People keep talking about the "feeling" you get here... I can't put my finger on it, but I get superstressed when I viewed some of the "threads" on BSky. They feel so... random.
Here on the other hand there's a certain "familiarity". It may be entirely in my head, but I feel a bit more... I don't know, at home here.
There certainly has been quite a bit of talk about boosting the number of followers people have "over there". As if that is the purpose of the platform...
