Bluesky has telephone verification. That is often an disqualifier and common for tech affine people. Not that many other networks did not make the same mistake.

I am not sure if Bluesky can have long term success to be honest.

> Bluesky has telephone verification.

Where did you see this? I've used the platform for 1.5 years or something, + created a new bot account just yesterday, and haven't been asked for a phone number for either accounts.

I made a Bluesky account without a phone number. Not sure what you're talking about.
Telephone verification doesn’t tend to be a major factor in whether software products are successful.
