In today’s deep-dive, I react to Hero Hei’s latest video, “Bluesky Is in Serious Trouble and Users Are Devastated.” He spotlights the worrying trend: users who fled to Bluesky from Twitter/X are now drifting back—and daily activity is tanking.

But Hero Hei isn’t just talking numbers—he’s browsing Reddit to show how users are feeling. Let's break it all down:

“Are people…leaving?!”
On r/BlueskySocial, one redditor captures the anxiety:

“A lot of people may be moving back to niche communities, but I agree, steady engaging on Bluesky is a key aspect of helping the platform grow.”

That sense of optimism still lingers, even amid retreat.

The “Echo Chamber” Warning
Down in r/TrueUnpopularOpinion, another blunt admission:

“All activity numbers available for BlueSky are showing a steady decline since a peak around two weeks ago… it’s just going to be an echo chamber for the terminally online.”

It’s becoming clear: momentum is fading, and variety is disappearing.

“Why am I still posting on Twitter?”
One post asks users of both platforms why they can’t quit Twitter. The answers are revealing:

“Lots of people I want to maintain contact with are still on Twitter… as a freelancer I can’t afford to give that up.” — HuikesLeftArm

“For me… there’s no engagement on Bluesky … Twitter still gets me my dank fix.” — swizzlemoff

You can practically hear the frustration: low visibility on Bluesky, even as its user quality is praised.

4. If you want engagement, you stay…
Across Reddit, the story repeats: Bluesky is quiet—and that’s why people stay on Twitter/X. Whether it’s work, fandom, news alerts, or just lively discussion—Twitter remains the draw.

Watch along as I break down Hero Hei’s points, share my own Reddit experiences, and question: Can Bluesky survive if top voices keep escaping back to X?
