comparing these charts of twitter, threads, bluesky users reflects so much about their respective user bases. @langchain's chart (see quoted cast) is mobile DAU. twitter on small decline, threads on strong linear rise -- both approaching 140M. my chart shows web DAU. on the right: threads on the rise, but not even 8M DAU. on the left: twitter very solidly ~140M DAU. bluesky hard to tell but seems like its 1.1M mobile DAU and 5.3M avg web DAU. threads mobile to web ratio is 16:1. twitter's is 1:1. bluesky is 1:5. - threads: pure phone scrollers and posters (makes sense, they came from instagram) - twitter: equal parts doomscrollers and desktop power users (think journalists, traders, tech bros who keep a pinned tab open all day). that 1:1 ratio is why its web ad inventory and data APIs still matter imo. - bluesky: mostly journalists/academics posting or lurking from their laptops; mobile app is mostly an afterthought

Ah I didn’t even consider mobile vs desktop for this data Pretty interesting stuff - for FC, I’m on both mediums pretty equally

Do you read Ben Werdmuller? He just added X to his “if I were in charge” series https://werd.io/if-i-ran-x/

Crazy to me how relevant X still is, when no one I know in real life still uses it. (And I get mocked when I do use it from time to time)

Makes sense, Threads and Bluesky emphasize dopamine-driven engagement and discourse over gamified systems
