No surprise as to why Bluesky is taking off, despite calling it years ago. [0] Now it has 18M+ users with 9M MAUs and 3.3M DAUs [1] after removing the invite system.
The familiarity is easily transferable for a migration from Twitter / X. If you know how to use Twitter / X then you know how to use 90% of Bluesky.
No need to 'choose an instance' or some admin shutting a server down due to 'other reasons' unlike with Mastodon or an arbitrary blackbox algorithm that limits / hides your posts found in Threads or needing a Meta account.
Bluesky has learned from the mistakes of others to start first with a default server approach, you choose your own feed + algorithm and a search functionality that (works) can find accounts across the platform.
Simple.
