Im not surprised. Bsky was a pretty great place for artists to post their work and a fairly trans-friendly site. Nowadays its pretty impossible feeling to build an audience. The most “popular” posts are mostly liberal news reactors sharing AI-generated anti-trump memes. Majority of LGBT users I know abandoned the site when the moderation team indignantly refused to ban Jesse Singal. Most artists I know have either gone back to Twitter/IG or given up on promoting their work online wholesale
I personally moved here from Bsky and now Hexbear is the only social media site I actively use
Pretty much. There was potential early on but it’s totally fucked now. I only still use it keep up with some friends and accounts like Wario64, while also constantly subtly pushing folks to move to mastodon instead.
