So bluesky has 5 million monthly active users while mastodon has 1 million?
Thats a fivefold difference.

True. So both have around 10 million total users. Bluesky has no monthly active user statistic. But around 1 million daily posters according to this https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats
While Mastodon has ~1 million monthly active users.
So sounds like bluesky’s got a lot more activity with that many daily posters, as of now, anyways.
Even if your numbers are true. Mastodon has existed for 7 years. Bluesky for less than one.
So logically the precentage of users to active users should be much higher on Bluesky.
Also number of accounts is possibly a bad metric to judge mastodon because of the federation.
For example, I have 8 mastodon accounts (tried a couple different instances and programmed a couple rss bots to give me a news feed).
I mean thanks to bridgy you can communicate across blusky and mastodon. For example people can follow my mastodon account on bluesky.
And bluesky has gained > 8 million users in the past couple months. Mastodon has 900 odd thousand MAU.
So clearly the majority have gone to one.
Newsflash. We’re talking about conservative Russia here. It already was :/.
More likely twitter users.
And yes it’s corporate which is less good than mastodon.
But it is add-free, has a working algorithm, is feature rich, is open-source, lets you self-host etc. Full defederation is coming soon too.
Having used both bluesky (self hosted) and mastodon. The experience is simply far better on bluesky.
Unlike lemmy vs reddit. Where (except for active user count) there isn’t really a tradeoff. Lemmy is simply far better.
If you defederate from lemmy.ml most these commenters dissapear

I tend not to be jealous of people making a racket but just want them to stop being an arse tbh
can we not post right wing tabloids
More like climate change is
Atleast when I was in school, we had class representatives too. But no one ever wanted to run lol.
Seriously how the fuck does half the world think Russia are the good guys.
(If the FBI sees this I’m joking)
Yeah. Would have been better if they just let a crisis that disproportionately affect poor people unfold /s
Not only that. But Ukraine managed to capture in a month the same amount of land Russia has captured in a year (via Kursk)
Yep. See Crimea.
Oh god it looks like I had a stroke at the end of that sentence ahhaha
Sorry I didn’t mean to sound cocky. It sounds like a byproduct of slow federation. As I edited my comment almost immediately (before you replied) after posting it, to correct said number and provide a source, but it doesn’t look like it got to your end.
Also MAU stands for monthly active users and not total users. But I realise that acronym may not be widespread.
