Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year.

I’m just don’t really find the Twitter experience to be all that much use. I was never a big Twitter user anyway.

My town has a bulletin board posted adjacent to the sidewalk near the post office. It’s labeled “The Town Cryer” and fliers for local events, businesses etc. get posted there.

That is what I see the Twitter/microblog format as useful for. It’s for stand up comics and musical acts to post “come see us LIVE at the Somewhere Dome in Citytown This Saturday a 8/7c.” Or for ISPs to post “Service interruption in the Carolinas, repairs underway, expect service to resume at 9 pm.”

Other than that and it’s just All Old Men Yell At Cloud.
