Oh no!!! I have to attract new users to Bluesky by posting better or this app will die and then civilization itself will collapse!! This is my sole motivation!!
But think about my media career, shoveling political slop into the hungry mouths of centrist dem hogs! Where will I be able to do this important work if bsky fails?!?
this whole thing seems to me like the letdown-porn grifters just having their eye on bluesky this week.

I don’t think it’s actually declining. The bump in users is simply at a point where we finally see who amongst them is going to be a regular user and who was just jumping on a trend. There will be future waves like this and every single social media site has this exact same growth model
and the solution these centrists have proposed is basically the same as Trump's solution to the problem: import shitty white people from the worst possible place in the world
It’s a holiday weekend. Maybe people are out, you know, spending time with family or laying a wreath in the National Cemetery. All it takes is some numbskull with moderate clout to say “it’s dying” and everyone panics.
