 Bluesky is for the most part a nostalgia app for a time in the 2010s when a 'Be Gay, Do Crime' stixk-n-poke tattoo was a fringe radical statement, rather than the desktop background of the HR department.

It's not so much for twitter exodusees, but more a specific 2010s Left Twitter & Tumblr larper. Which is surprisingly large in number. But that success is probably at a peak? (Or maybe I'm wrong and there are loads more lolol). It is also a major problem for onboarding more interesting users.

Obviously bitcoin tourettes is a huge nostr problem. However seeing as there are only 24 of us, it would only take an influencer with a fanbase of 25 to outnumber the bitcoin slogans crowd here.

This is our strength lol


These are my #bluesky hot takes. Thanks for muting me.
