Just UI and the general UX is now miles better.

I feel the opposite, no more vimlike bindings and no more ctrl-click makes Bluesky unusable for me.

I do love that pages seem light and load nearly instantly, but I just can't use it

I also have the same problem of Nobody Using It, but thankfully everyone I care about is on jstpst or my fediverse so I don't mind hehe

Yeah same the "new post" circle is half way off the bottom of the screen and hard to click on my phone.

It feels jankier than twitter BUT: I left twitter a couple months in to musks reign and well before the site started actually falling apart, so idk how the jank is today.

What's your fediverse handle? Not sure if I'm following you yet. I'm @flabberghaster@mas.to

Honestly the jank is worse. I experience lots of lag or the app sending me a mile upwards, I got banned for absolutely no reason - I wasn't even beefing with anyone - and there hasn't been any follow back from X since I appealed their decision with their support, users are rate limited now so you can no longer search users' tweets or their likes, media and replies.

I tried to make a new account but couldn't get it to work. It might work now, but at least I can read tweets while banned.

I don't have the problem of No Body on Blusky since some of my favorite twitter people quit the service formerly known as Twitter and hang out on Blusky instead. So just from my POV there are people to talk to there. That's true of Twitter for the moment as well but the attrition is real and visible. I mostly just view specific users to see whether there's any updates.

I only use Blusky on my phone so I can't comment on the desktop UX but to me Twitter is weirdly laggy making, e.g., long threads impossible to read without constant reloading and losing your place.

Really my problems with Twitter are the banal ones, the ghost towning, degradation of latency and UX and threats of further downgrades. The political aspects of the enshittefication haven't been enough to stop being a habitual user. I remember taking a month off because I was too compulsive at Twitter, but I am no longer under any threat of that.
