Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

Genuine question, is Bluesky worth using in its current state? Can it hold a candle to pre-Musk Twitter?

I'm asking because I feel incredibly burned by the barebones state of Threads and I don't really want to commit to another platform that doesn't have its shit together. Threads still doesn't have trending topics and functional hashtags over a year into its launch, and this is is shit that Mastodon had for years, despite Meta expecting to piggyback off of the ActivityPub protocol and be welcomed into the Fediverse with open arms.

If you follow the AP bridge @ap.brid.gy there you'll be fine.

It's more valuable than Twitter and threads to me... It really is only missing video and I'll be fully sold and hashtags seem to work... I just don't use them often

From what I heard from a friend that's pissed at losing access to xitter and begrudgingly made an account on bluesky, it doesn't have trending topics yet, "How am I supposed to know what's going on in the world?"
