Been posting on Bluesky for like 2 weeks and already have as many followers here (and 3x the engagement) as I do on Threads which I grinded for more than a year. Threads is an all time fumble for Zuck. It's like it was actively trying to avoid being the thing we wanted it to be.

Great to have you on here :)
But yes. Sure seems he was actively trying to keep it from being the thing we wanted.
Zuck actively blocks all discussion of politics, all promotion of new ideas & cool indie content.
The forced integration with IG also doesn't help. I think most people don't bother having Threads because it's just a tacked on extension for IG.
Threads never gave me a good vibe but this place does
They never felt like places to actually be in and talk to people on. Even the design of how you post comments those sites feels detached and out of the way.
I haven't seen any celebrity content on my feed. Just a bunch of randos, which is how I like my internet.
But congratulations friend!!
He correctly points out the issues with threads (and twitter)

"I would like to see updates from my friends/family/people I follow...."
"Nah here is a bunch of crap we hope will keep you glued to the feed and if you don't like it too bad"
Threads could have been neat, but they were too slow. Seems they're trying to play catch-up now but... it's probably too late.
Bluesky feels fire. Glad for it.
Either way, they had such a good opportunity.
i had threads over bsky for a while myself but they were just not listening to the users at all and now its too little too late
I was hyped for Threads but when it didn't even launch in Europe it ruined all my excitement. Was never keen on Twitter and I hope Bluesky becomes the platform where more games host their events and news aswell.
