The media keeps trying to make Bluesky happen. But the reality is that’s even though it’s had a “Trump bump” it’s WAAAAAY below the levels of Meta’s Threads and so far behind X it’s not even a contest.
Meta’s Threads is rapidly growing in user numbers and features, surpassing Bluesky, but both platforms face significant challenges related to user engagement, accountability, and data privacy.
00:00 Threads is outpacing Blue Sky in user growth while promoting free speech amid government censorship pressures on Facebook.
01:29 Meta’s Threads is overshadowing Bluesky, raising concerns about accountability in social media regulation.
02:37 Threads outpaces Bluesky with 100 million signups, but struggles with user engagement compared to its rapid growth.
04:05 Threads is outpacing Bluesky with 275 million users, while celebrities face backlash for their views on the platform.
06:14 Threads is quickly adding features to overshadow Blue Sky, which is hindered by verification and bot management issues.
07:51 Threads is facing challenges similar to Twitter, with a surge in impersonators and a complicated verification process that deters users.
09:06 Blue Sky is under fire for allowing public posts to be scraped for AI training, raising user consent concerns reminiscent of Twitter’s data access controversies.
