Real difference I've noticed over time:
X: most international by *far*.
Mastodon: feels like being in a Germanic land (probably because I'm on on Eugen's instance).
Bluesky: feels primarily American (unsurprising given the exodus). I do miss the mix, eg, ~no Indian voices.

I feel like there was a core of very dedicated Pune posters on X, some of whom I followed, and miss (like Navin Kabra). Not sure why, but the Pune cluster really stood out.
(I've been promised a Rayar's Mess visit by your ex-boss the next time I'm in Chennai.)
And I’ve actually never been to Rayar’s Mess myself. Come, we’ll both go!
Some of the nerdy ones are on Mastodon (its federated nature is a hindrance to discoverability, IMO).
BlueSky has the fewest, IME.
Xitter is where most desis are, but mostly bots & ₹2 IT-Cellers.
Threads makes sense, especially since the whole country is already on another Meta platform, WhatsApp…
But Indians, yeah, not sure they've shown up in force.
I think "majority" in pre-days is meaningless relative to how it's swollen. Though it's true, I have located some of my Brazilian mutuals from X over here. I guess that brief block of X in Brazil helped…
