Thread: 🦋 Bluesky hits 40M users — but where’s the energy?

1/ Bluesky has just crossed 40 million users, which is impressive for a decentralized social platform that once felt like the future of online communities.

2/ In the early days, it was full of devs, creators, and tech thinkers experimenting and building together. Now, the focus seems to have shifted toward more general and political discussions.

3/ The platform is improving though — new moderation tools, a downvote system, and UX/UI upgrades show they’re listening to feedback.

4/ Still, I wonder if Bluesky can rediscover its identity and re-attract the innovative crowd that made it special.

5/ I’ve shared more thoughts about social platforms, digital focus, and mindful tech over on my blog at Surah Al-Mulk — feel free to check it out.
