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.

Mastodon's original app is just trash Threads are completely unreadable, it should be like that of X

The thing that goes against what most people are used to is the fact that most fediverse services either don't have an official app or the official app is just a proof of concept. You're kind of expected to use either the website directly or third party apps, which are usually much better.

When I still used my Mastodon account I used Megalodon and was testing Moshidon as well. Now I just use the PWA for the Sharkey instance I'm on.

Sakurajima. They have a Mastodon instance too.

Very japan focused. Be warned if you're not some kind of weeb.

+1 for Sharkey. It's my favorite of the protocols, so far.

Mainly the 5000 character limit. It handles MFM (though I don't really use it), and features like antennas (very specific follow lists).
