So bluesky has 5 million monthly active users while mastodon has 1 million?
Thats a fivefold difference.

True. So both have around 10 million total users. Bluesky has no monthly active user statistic. But around 1 million daily posters according to this https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats
While Mastodon has ~1 million monthly active users.
So sounds like bluesky’s got a lot more activity with that many daily posters, as of now, anyways.
Even if your numbers are true. Mastodon has existed for 7 years. Bluesky for less than one.
So logically the precentage of users to active users should be much higher on Bluesky.
Also number of accounts is possibly a bad metric to judge mastodon because of the federation.
For example, I have 8 mastodon accounts (tried a couple different instances and programmed a couple rss bots to give me a news feed).
I mean thanks to bridgy you can communicate across blusky and mastodon. For example people can follow my mastodon account on bluesky.
And bluesky has gained > 8 million users in the past couple months. Mastodon has 900 odd thousand MAU.
So clearly the majority have gone to one.
More likely twitter users.
And yes it’s corporate which is less good than mastodon.
But it is add-free, has a working algorithm, is feature rich, is open-source, lets you self-host etc. Full defederation is coming soon too.
Having used both bluesky (self hosted) and mastodon. The experience is simply far better on bluesky.
Unlike lemmy vs reddit. Where (except for active user count) there isn’t really a tradeoff. Lemmy is simply far better.
Oh god it looks like I had a stroke at the end of that sentence ahhaha
Except Tom@TomHanks.com will come up first because they will surely have the most fooloerrs.
ah cheers. Just making sure. I can’t see bios since I use voyager.
I find its a pretty good parody account. I’ve I come to look forward to read about ridiculous lobster comparisons when stumbling upon one of their comments.
Are you the OG Blaze? Did you move to feddit?
A celebrity can host their own domain to prove authenticity.
So what. On Xitter I can make an account called Tom.Hanks and get the blue mark by paying Elon. Because Tom Hanks has the username Tom_Hanks.
I think Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world and removedjustworks because of abuse stemming from auto signups
I wouldn’t assume which way the astroturf is going. Would need to look at the accounts fiirst.
Yeah nah man. I’m poor as removed. Like usually have cents left if my bank account poor, and don’t always have meals poor. I ain’t paying a penny, even though I love lemmy.
I’ll give my ID or passport before I pay money.
Thank you for your service 🫡
Well last time it happened for such a prolonged period was 1930-1945, so the precedent isn’t great.
Makes sense. But your feed contains both mastodon posts and lemmy posts iirc?
Sorry I didn’t mean to sound cocky. It sounds like a byproduct of slow federation. As I edited my comment almost immediately (before you replied) after posting it, to correct said number and provide a source, but it doesn’t look like it got to your end.
Also MAU stands for monthly active users and not total users. But I realise that acronym may not be widespread.
