Re: Bluesky Exceeds Threads DAUs in the US
#2MAU/DAU have always somewhat seemed like dishonest metrics anyway, plus things like network effect and news cycles ("Threads has so many users!" yeah because it just came out). What if a company juices the metrics like say, not including messages in your email anymore, so you have to physically go to Facebook?
Zuckerberg's products seem a bit... derivative. They're all copied from other products in really dishonest ways

#4Why didn't Threads work? Because Zuck is trying to do the bad boy act of Elon but all those who are interested in that are already on Twitter. He will always remain a nerd as long as is building a web app like Facebook. Elon at least has street cred of rockets.

#5Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Threads has always seemed to be an afterthought for Meta. The only reason I even remember it exists is because every so often in the Instagram newsfeed there's "promoted" posts from Threads.

Being derivative isn’t necessarily a bad business strategy as long as you improve on whatever you’re deriving from.

At least with Bluesky you can trivially download the entire firehose and determine the number of e.g. users liking at least one post. According to public stats [1] based on this data, ~2.8M unique users liked posts yesterday, which aligns very well with the daily active users shown on the graph.
The comparison might be wrong for other reasons, but Bluesky pumping their numbers is probably not one of them.

I get your point, but just because its a spike doesn't mean that it's incorrect. DAU will slowly wash over, but consitent users will show a successful spike

One would expect that these networks are still part of web.

#10Threads seems like it was designed by people who want me to be angry. Bluesky seems like it was designed by people who want me to be happy.
I notice I stay on threads longer, often thinking “people can’t possibly believe this nonsense,” and I notice that I’m angry after using it for some time. I stay on Bluesky for much shorter periods, and I often feel peaceful (even bordering on bored) after a session.
