@JesseSkinner Bluesky/atproto main, Mastodon/fediverse side here.

They've got different use cases for me.

Basically the only folks left here from the heyday & who actually still post with any regularity are @lisamelton @hacks4pancakes & two folks I know who are ideologically opposed to Bluesky/atproto.

Everyone else is on Bluesky/atproto & loving it.

I also can't post everything here that I post over there b/c of my instance, & switching instances on Mastodon/fedi is not w/out costs.

You need to follow new people! 😀

I know some folks who are on Bluesky, but none of the people I hear from regularly on here even talk about it as a serious consideration.

@deirdrebeth I mean... Sure, but does require the folks that I want to keep in touch with / the internet personalities (e.g., tech podcasters) that I follow actually joining Mastodon/fedi.

Many of them made an account years ago & don't post to it.

Many more of them never made a Mastodon/fedi account & are just migrating from X to Bluesky/atproto.

I've also lost folks to instances shutting down due to maintenance costs / interserver admin drama & being turned off of Mastodon/fedi due to that.

100% if you're trying to follow specific people. The "follow more" only works if your looking for active posters in general, rather than specifics.

I used X to follow topics (ice hockey, BLM, breaking news, etc.) rather than people, so moving here was smooth as silk. I'm likely in the minority with that!
