- Comment on Bluesky adds 8 million users in last ten months. 1 day ago:
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.
- Comment on Bluesky adds 8 million users in last ten months. 1 day ago:
So bluesky has 5 million monthly active users while mastodon has 1 million?
Thats a fivefold difference.
- Comment on Bluesky adds 8 million users in last ten months. 1 day ago:
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 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.
- Comment on Bluesky adds 8 million users in last ten months. 1 day ago:
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 mastodon.
(Also number of accounts is possibly a bad metric to judge mastodon because of the federation).
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.
And bluesky has gained 8 million users in the past year. I don’t think mastodon has even gained a million. So clearly the majority have gone to one.
- Comment on Bluesky adds 8 million users in last ten months. 1 day ago:
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.

- Comment on Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? 4 days ago:
Even though crisis hotlines are common, they have not been well studied for efficacy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_hotline#:~:text=6 Re….
Somewhat related, but I think suicide hotlines can be a big problem if they are understaffed. I feel like in my country they are just there to check a box. I’ve had two suicidal crises, both times I called the hotline, waited 20+ minutes and gave up. It made me feel even worse and more lost.

- Comment on how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me? 5 days ago:
sometimes even if you had the best application in the world you’d get ignored. Lets say HR has limited resources, X work hours to find a suitable candidate. They post an add and get 400 replies. After reading 100 of those, they are running out of work hours, and have already shortlisted a bunch of good candidates. So they toss the 300 others in the bin.
This happens all the time sadly.

Sunscreen was invented in 1946, it looks like. Our ability to diagnose cancer has come a long, long way since then. So it would likely be difficult or impossible to answer this question, since 50 year old data about skin cancer incidence will be lower than modern level simply due to diagnostic advances.

Back in the day it was normal to die of skin cancer at 30. These days, we prefer to avoid it.

Yeah some people here can be dicks. I’ve needed to block a couple people, and join an instance with disabled downvotes, and now it’s a lot better.

Bluesky has an algorithm

And the fact that bluesky has many features mastodon does not. Namely, an algorithm.

Yeah it is when you’re not affected by them I guess. But their rampant ableism and transphobia would have made me leave lemmy if there wasn’t a way to block.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
They aren’t even really left. They are super authoritarian.
I blocked them since they spew Russian and Chinese propaganda points and take revisionist stances on Tianman square and deny the Uyghur Genocide.

Sounds like you haven’t been on emojipasta.
It’s sarcastic overuse of emojis. Not meant to be taken seriously.
