I’ve been on Bluesky for two days now. It’s nice, but kinda quiet. Just crossed 1000 users today.

Onboarding is simple, setting up a profile is easy, and finding people to follow is quick and intuitive. Past that it’s definitely lacking functionality in plenty of ways, but everything that is included so far works and is very smooth.

That said, it is completely lacking the spark of this community. Nostr felt special even before zaps, but now I can’t imagine a new social media experience succeeding without that functionality.

I’m excited to see how both grow and at one point was eagerly awaiting Bluesky, but Nostr’s organic evolution and speed of development with community influence has been unlike anything I’ve seen since the earliest days of the web.
