Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference.

"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."

I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds | TechCrunch

Bluesky’s new app Attie uses AI to help people build custom feeds the open social networking protocol atproto.

So, Bluesky is getting more crypto VC money, more AI, and a full year of steadily declining activity.

While the fediverse is getting quotes, UX/UI improvements, starter packs.

Hm!

Bluesky User Growth and Active Users

See how activity and usage of Bluesky has been growing over time. How many users are currently active? How many posts are posted daily on Bluesky?

@stefan

Though haven't we also been having declining active user counts?

Though if everyone's counts are declining maybe people are going outside?

(Just want to clarify the fediverse updates sound quite a bit better than the blue sky updates, I just wasn't sure about the trends in active users)

@alienghic It started to pick up again recently, might be going down a bit again, though.

Well. Nevertheless!

@alienghic Not sure if people have been going back to Twitter/X away from both Bluesky/fedi.

Can't really trust their numbers.

Maybe just giving up on social media?

@stefan

I personally think it's more common for people to prefer more closed communities like discord

@stefan

I think dealing with "the public" can be stressful and I think only some people want to do that.
