Bluesky has really exploded in certain niches over the past week, I think my followers have gone up 5-6x since Saturday.
I'd been a somewhat active user over the past year as conversation on the field I work in (energy) become so degraded on Twitter as to make it kind of worthless (mean in multiple senses of the word as well as ludicrous levels of spam), but Bluesky was pretty relaxed without a lot of traction, now there's some real heat to it as things pick up.
Hopefully this surge is real, has certianly gotten me to be much more active.
