I hope this will become true; it's the reason I made an account as soon as possible (not the one that matches my name), have followed hashtag-based feeds with mixed success, and donated to my favourite client (tokimeki.blue). I want to follow topics, in the fashion of Usenet or Reddit, not people. If I'm interested in dandelions, I want to read Jay Expert's posts about dandelions, not their posts about their breakfast (unless it's dandelions) or favourite TV show (unless it's about dandelions).

I fear the recent US election is going to kill it, though.

How? Aren’t there a lot more people migrating to Bluesky now in light of Musk’s antics on X?

Lol who told you that? X is vibrant and big ad companies are coming back. I personally created an account on Bluesky not to support it but to ensure leftists cannot create an echo chamber.

Yes, vibrant with hate speech and now Musk is deleting accounts of people he doesn't like. Free speech my ass.
