Roughly half my Twitter feed is people ushering themselves and others over to Bluesky. Not just tech-oriented people, and the people offering invites are basically keeping up with the people asking but just barely. There’s also (some but) very little skepticism from people checking it out. I think the only chance it doesn’t succeed is if people have trouble reconstructing a sufficient portion of their existing networks.
Disclosure: I’m just an observer, I could probably get an invite if I asked for one but I’m enjoying seeing it play out without any special treatment, and I don’t participate much on Twitter so I’m definitely not going to add much to any new Twitterlike platform.
It's interesting how different bubbles we're in. I can't recall having seen anyone mention Bluesky, but a fair proportion of the people I interact with on Twitter either are now both on Mastodon and Twitter or have moved fully.
