Does it make sense to try a new social media platform?

•
This is a reflection on the experience with the "revived" Bluesky social network. I can’t tell whether it will last another week (and fade away after that) or thrive for an entire decade. If your goal is personal use, I highly recommend joining – it allows you to connect with specific people on a more personal level. ---------- The bottom line: A social media platform with over 25 million users, predominantly in the U.S. market, has the potential to be worth giving a try. Have you tried it yet?

Like the American businessman Kevin Rollins once said: "I believe that one-product wonders come and go."... Yes, I've tried it: https://bsky.app/profile/terabit...

I'm currently experiencing the same thing. I can't decide whether to try Bluesky, or just stick to X.

I think a lot of people will use both BSky and X. X is mature, and the discussions there are better. If you're big on X, it means something, whereas BSky is bot-heavy with nascent discussion, and so your presence on BSky may not give you the same good experience in the near term.

@toby_rowland Do you expect that Bsky will be unsuccessful?

It’s of little significance. I believe nothing has changed, and it’s hard to see something homogeneous suddenly thriving in the current environment.

New platforms come with traffic bonuses. Yes, I will give it a try.

BSky is newer but gaining traction. X has mature convos but BSky could catch up. I'd say use both for now - build your X presence while exploring BSky's potential. See how discussions evolve on each before going all in on one. Choice is a good problem to have in social media!
