Bluesky isn’t just an echo chamber — the posts and follows are falling off since the peak around the November election.

Building social networks with retention is extremely difficult. They have done the best job in recently (other than Threads).

Threads has a structural advantage here, so it’s not even a fair fight

What do you think they did well? What did bluesky do better than others in terms of growth and retention tactics?

Chose the correct growth axis (politics).

Do you think about taking a stance on 5-10 growth axises for farcaster? Like are there 5-10 topics/axis that could be more of a focus for growth

Sorry, the growth axis was anti Elon, which is a loose political affiliation. It’s not topic based. Topic based communities have a lot of inertia to switching. Better features / tools is not compelling enough.

What if they’re more emergent topics without a dominant forum for that community/topic?

Threads are extremely popular in colonies actually

That’s because social networks are often replaced by actual social interactions.

I intended to use Bluesky much more, but then ended up on farcaster...
