Just because people are joining Bluesky doesn't mean they're leaving X.
Technically correct, but on Bluesky there are lists of the kind of people who. like what X has become, so that they can be blocked en masse.

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.)
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...

Bluesky has been doing around 700/s.
So, ~2^5 away. Not bad!
