Recently, Bluesky gained over a million new users, bringing the total to over 12M, with DAU hitting an ATH of over 1.5M. This growth likely followed the surge after 𝕏 was banned in Brazil and two key changes on Twitter: allowing blocked users to view posts from public accounts and permitting third-party AI developers to use private user data. If users are unhappy with these changes, they would typically seek alternatives at the client level. However, since Twitter isn't an open, decentralized protocol, there are no alt-clients, prompting users to turn to perceived decentralized platforms. This shows that the narrative of decentralized platforms providing more control and autonomy still resonates, attracting those seeking greater freedom of speech and privacy protection. When might those leaving Twitter consider joining Farcaster? https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/18/24273435/bluesky-user-spike-x-tos-ai-changes-blocking

"Two key changes on Twitter: allowing blocked users to view posts from public accounts and permitting third-party AI developers to use private user data." How is this resolved for those moving to Bluesky (or any open social protocol)?

Farcaster team has said they are only focused on attracting people in crypto, so probably not anytime soon

Numbers aren’t everything. The content on Bluesky is pretty toxic in its own way from the little time I’ve spent there. I prefer our small town community here tbh. It will grow at its own pace.

probably when there's no 5 dollar fee to sign up. I petitioned to have it removed after the Brazilian ban but no one was willing to listen to reason at the top level.

about Bluesky's growth, I'd add the part about joining Threads (see below) a couple of weeks ago. The key learning for me here is not even about DAU (typical point around this topic), but what comes before that: Bluesky's team acts fast and simple. It's about awareness. More and more people know about it and eventually this will make a difference imo. https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/10/bluesky-joins-threads-to-court-users-frustrated-by-metas-moderation-issues/

They should flock to us here. I guess will have to make it more attractive outside the crypto sphere.
