No one is coming 'crawling back' to that dumpster heap. The difference on the site from the past two years is laughably immense, for the worse. The only people I've seen truly having an issue letting go are artists with a sizable following there, and that's only because for many of them it's their actual source of income. But even those people are more and more realizing how hostile the site has become for artists.
Bluesky is already facing issues because people there report anything and everything. Sad.
EDIT: Apparently Bluesky TOS explicitly says by posting on the site, you give them permission to use them as they see fit, while you can just turn off Grok on Twitter, then they cannot use your art to train their AI.
In 2022, the great long-promised Twitter killer was Mastodon; in 2023, it was Threads; and in 2024, it apparently is Blue Sky. Guess that we will see if the third time is the charm.

Bluesky has definitely gained a lot due to Twitter and it's owner's own actions, but it's currently not a "Twitter killer," though none of the sources I've read about Bluesky's recent gains have called it that. These migrations have helped to boost Bluesky's user numbers to over 15 million accounts, which is massively smaller than Twitter's user numbers regardless if you're using Twitter's numbers (higher) or third-party sources' numbers (lower). Of the details that are available on Twitter's numbers, it is known that EU users for the first six months of 2024 has shown a 5% decline in active users, with the EU accounting for around 1/5th of Twitter's user base.

Libsofbluesky much like libsoftiktok removes context in order to paint a narrative. Right below that comment they explain the types of reports such as scams,spam, trolling(that ones iffy) as well as removing csam. No one is returning to Twitter and the most obvious sign of that is ironically that libsofbluesky account.

1. I am not saying all the reports are "malicious reports", of course there will be reports of legitimate issues. The point is a large section of the demographic that migrated to Bluesky has the disposition to report anything that moves under the sun.
2. The existence of LibsOfBluesky simply means there are enough "libs" on Bluesky due to the recent election. It has been just over a week. They have done this before in 2020 when Musk first acquired Twitter. A bunch of people left due to "Twitter is a Nazi platform because of Musk", then came crawling back within a month. Perhaps it would be different this time. Perhaps Bluesky will become a big enough echo chamber that they do not feel the need go back on Twitter. If that is the case, good for them. Their content are not the ones that shows up on my timeline anyways.
This a reposting problem that affects us in this website who look for the best quality anime images in the internet. We cannot get any higher resolution images from bluesky posts. Making us have to go use another image source such as pixiv, twitter, etc...
I doubt the resolute problem would get fixed since reposting is mostly frowned upon in the art community (From what I've seen in banned artists). Still Bluesky is getting popular and I hope for an update for their image sizes.
It's not the same thing. Karma is aggregated across your entire account and displayed for everyone to see. That's why karma whores exist. Comment score on Danbooru does jack all but hide a single comment if it's below a certain value, which can be set individually by users so it doesn't even have the same impact for everyone.
I usually archive artists I like, but unfortunately I only got to n0een after they had left. And I do think they decided to leave. Here's what I can find out about n0een:
