I don’t think that is huge or even comparable to Twitter, they probably get 20x (or higher) the amount of posts per second Bluesky gets. I don’t have the exact stats so excuse me if I’m wrong but like I said this is nothing compared to Twitter.
Probably also worth observing that Twitter itself mostly just derives it’s legitimacy from news and politics events due to the way the platform is set up. Instagram still eats them for lunch quantitatively, but we don’t talk about Twitter being DOA.
Realistically it isn’t about user count. It basically doesn’t count for anything unless you’re an investor or site engineer - the more relevant stats is how engaging it is for you personally. Some communities live in different places on the internet and that diversity of location is OK - nobody needs to be biggest.

Bluesky is so much better and has more security than twitter. Bluesky has extensive moderation options for users to keep safe and only see the content they want to see in their feed.
This is a must!
They should just fully integrate guilded into roblox groups instead of using walls
Bluesky and Threads on Roblox would be amazing! I’m actually really tired of Twitter being on our only option when it comes to text-based social media.
The more options that we have, the bigger our reach to new users gets.
tbh guilded isn’t worth everything people make it up to be
having deep discord integration would be great but that ship sailed years ago sadly
I agree but Bluesky is still not that big to deserve the attention of Roblox engineers. Let time judge, let’s see how it will do in a year. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you’re wrong, but I doubt this platform will make it very far. Many people tried and failed like I said with Threads, this story will be no different.
I choose to take a neutral view of things. Maybe it’ll stick and maybe it won’t. I don’t know the future
Also include links to Fediverse instances. There are many Mastodon servers that you can connect to.
Problem is how we’ll allow-list them.
If you’re willing to trust another big company, Threads isn’t a bad option since they kinda federate with other servers.
Threads died because of its lack of features and design flaws, which made it inferior to Twitter. BlueSky focused on improving Twitter’s features, and I see more and more Twitter users move to BlueSky and even praise it for being a much better experience. I see more and more people on my followed move to BlueSky since people interact with others a lot more than before.
I also think that trying to argue against adding it is quite weird. I feel that people should have more freedom to choose between Twitter and BlueSky. It’s not like we want Roblox to remove Twitter as an option, but to add BlueSky and Threads as well. I think that BlueSky has more of a chance to be added compared to Threads since I see a lot of big creators going to it

PointCrow

RTGame
MaximumADHD
Suggyiem
TeeLopes
And these are only the ones I have followed that I am aware of at this moment. I don’t think that it is a bad choice to add the platform
mastodon is kinda dead compared to bluesky atm. i tried it out and didn’t like it, it had almost nothing special and discovery was annoying
It really depends on which people you find.
I do honestly believe that this is a great Idea for people that like bluesky. As I see no reason not to add it. To me it was honestly nice to see competition for big companies like X/Twitter. Even big creators like MaximumADHD move to bluesky.
I’ll try not biased or political. Since I am NOT a big fan of Twitter, and that most people are switching in spite of Elon (Who I am also not a fan of). Bluesky did give me a terrible first impression. I’d say that Twitter is a better option for a lot of people. My first time ever on bluesky, which I am not a fan of art but my whole feed was just that. Even after using not interested and blocked dozens of people, my whole feed was still only art. I guess it somehow made my feed worse as even though I set my account age to under 18. I still got some explicit art. I got people with innapropriate username’s to follow me (one with the n word ER LITERALLY as their name). I may try it again soon as I noticed that about 60% of my followers were banned, and I joined as a crap ton of people were moving to bluesky.
I’d say I’ve been on twitter about 4 years and went about a years without seeing anything super explicit. It was pretty easy to get my feed which mainly consist of cats, animals, and Roblox to be good.
but to be for real I may try bluesky when more of my following move to it.
i prefer twitter, you can still find ur beliefs on twitter, i dont understand why we gotta add a social media on roblox out of political reasons, plus twitter is far more larger and efficient than bluesky, i dont see any worth at putting the effort
Everyone is angry builderman won the election
Because thats their entire reason, really
i’m not a fan of elon musk myself but bluesky is just for people who disagree politically with him that’s it
and as apictrain0 noted here bluesky has a pretty dense amount of NSFW art and (in my opinion) if you’re a conservative on bluesky you’re more likely to be censored so sure twitter is politically biased sometimes but bluesky really isnt any better if we’re talking about political neutrality
(for clarification, i am not saying that i’m a conservative or a liberal im not trying to make this political at all, im just talking about the motives behind people moving to bluesky)
I heard their reporting system was jammed, meaning you can’t even report having seen explicit art if you tried (That is, if their reporting system is still down)
Exactly, I agree with every word you said. The only reason people want this added is political which should have no place on Roblox in general.
I am not American, so the political space doesn’t matter. I just prefer a platform that I actually get traction on as I’ve gotten more people able to see my posts compared to Twitter. I also want to not have my posts be put into an AI as of the new TOS. I just want my memes.
BlueSky is growing by the millions every day. Just because Twitter is larger doesn’t mean that Roblox won’t benefit from more social connections.
I have not seen any NSFW unless I turn on the mature filter (if unregistered users see mature content then that is a problem that needs fixing ASAP). Twitter also allows NSFW content on the platform, so does that mean Twitter should be removed because of that?
Why is it so hard for someone to prefer a different platform without politics being involved in the reason? I care 0 about politics and just prefer the platform and think that with it growing in userbase; it would make sense to add it. Discord is already planning on adding it to their connections, so I don’t see it being problematic if Roblox were to follow suit.
I will no longer respond to this thread as it seems to be getting more toxic as it goes on. I am still in-support of this being added as an alternative for the people who want it
(( We both know that what goes on in America will soon go on all around the world. ))
To me it still stands clear that the only reason people want this added is political. Nobody just wakes up one day and decides to ditch one of the most popular and widely used social media platform for some random no name site that appeared not that long ago.
I’m also gonna end this here, there’s no point in engaging with this Thread anymore. I hope I made my opinion clear.
