Because the majority of people don’t even know what bluesky is, and those who do can’t get an invite
They're a lot more common than you think; you get an invite to give out every 10 days. It's just that you gotta ask around for them. If you're looking for an invite, try asking a furry. I think most of the furry community who wants to be on Bluesky is already there at this point, so there are probably a number of furries who have tons of unused invites.
This explains why I was seeing so many Furries at first. Dialed in the Feeds and don't see them anymore but I was confused at first
Yup. The furry community is very tight-knit. If you pick any two humans at random, there will be six degrees of separation between them on average. I'd be willing to bet there's a maximum of six degrees of separation between furries, with the average probably being 2~3 degrees. If you pick people with related interests, the maximum probably drops to 3~4 degrees, with the average being around 1~2. The result is that Bluesky spread like wildfire through the community.
