It has to start somewhere. Blue sky started from nothing too

Maybe on Bluesky they start with one person less calling them tards.

I'm not on mastadon either so fortunately, they get to avoid me on mastodon as well

The wonders of ActivityPub allow Mastodon users to interact with Lemmy, actually. Wild stuff.

My bad, I will try not to call them tards then.

I feel you, but Mastodon has about 9 million users and BlueSky has 15 million (if the first results from a search index are to be trusted), but I could not find anywhere even close to 60% of the people in this hobby on Mastodon as I have on BlueSky.

There was a very concentrated push recently of artists (I think it was artists originally) to go to BlueSky and it's sort of echoed into similarish hobbies. So that's probably why the user makeup is a little different.
