Just to clarify... The article says "Bluesky claims one million users joined the platform in one day this week." I'm not sure it was today. (There might've been a spike earlier this week that has since started slowing down.)<p>But what's more important is how the article also mentions Mastodon (plus Threads, Discord, and other alternatives.) I really think what this all points to is a growing need for fediverse-enabled social sites...<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse</a>

Not bad!
Koo, Threads, Mastodon, and now the new X killer is Bluesky. What's next?<p>Suggestions:<p><pre><code> - x++
- y
- x#
- X rewritten in Rust</code></pre>
