Source? What I see here doesn't look good. https://bluefacts.app/bluesky-user-growth https://bluefacts.app/bluesky-user-growth Never mind the pivot to reddit

  What’s the definition of success here? Instagram like user counts?

    Arguing that success is purely about the ultra high numbers seems to miss the forest for the trees. Is HN a failure because it did not reach the level of DAU as Reddit? The quality of discussion and community here is certainly substantially higher. I feel the same about Mastodon and Bsky vs Twitter. I’ll take community I actually want to engage with over sheer numbers any day.

    I think critics would settle for commercial viability, given the funding structure.
