Bluesky tops 22 million users

It looks like this Bluesky social media platform is here to see. We know it’s been gaining in popularity since the Nov. 5th election, but that would be an understatement. It’s spreading like wild fire and has other similar platforms like X and Threads scrambling.

Bluesky has now topped 22 million users, and it’s probably more than 23 by the time I hit “publish” on this post.

Right now, Bluesky is a lot of fun. It’s new, everyone is nice. It’s clean and hasn’t been cluttered with ads and bots yet. I’m sure the Bluesky community would love for it to stay that way, but I’m sorry, it’s not likely. Once the eyeballs hit critical mass, then the money and the garbage that comes with it will join in.

Let’s just hope that we can enjoy it before it turns into something like Google Wave. Remember that one? I hardly do either. Maybe it joined a bowling league with Google Glass.
