Hahahaha! 👏👏👏👏

greenplanet.bsky.social•99 days ago

I got a chuckle too, we must have both been watching that ticker with the screen grab already queued up :)

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•99 days ago

I put a timer on, guessing it would cross in about 10 mins & just caught it clicking over, but took me a bit longer to screenshot!

I go there every so often to enjoy the number whizzing up.

cllrandyoddy.bsky.social•100 days ago

Should hit 18m around 4PM GMT at 1500/min

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•99 days ago

Probably closer to 19.00 hrs uk time

seanmack.bsky.social•100 days ago

Increasing by 13.3 users **per second**!

Phenomenal!!🦋👍

carpevinum2024.bsky.social•100 days ago

Is that 2 million added in 24 hours?

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yep. Or very close

davehaterofracism.bsky.social•100 days ago

no about 50 hours

15 - 16 took 27 hours

16-17 less than 24

1davidreed.bsky.social•100 days ago

So fast it’s hard to keep up!
Great to catch up with you again 🤪

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Hallo!

Hot tip.

Complete your profile as fully as possible (or expect minimal followers unless you are famous) and aim to follow far more people than on the dark side…that is what drives your personal algorithm, given the absence of rage-farming algorithms on here

disxt.bsky.social•100 days ago

>61k increase

olivera60.bsky.social•100 days ago

I stopped looking at it for about 15 minutes, went back and it had gone up by 20,000.

matovueric256.bsky.social•100 days ago

Hello sister Fionna, warm greetings to you from Africa🌍, Uganda🇺🇬! I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits.

justdavesteele.bsky.social•100 days ago

WOW!

catsmother.bsky.social•99 days ago

Approaching 18 million now.

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yes. By 7pm 🇬🇧 time I’m guessing

davehaterofracism.bsky.social•100 days ago

I expect it to accelerate more over the weekend as people will have more time set up accounts

wyshes.bsky.social•100 days ago

It's rather soothing and relaxing watch the counter spin up 😁

lottinewstead.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s actually pretty lovely being part of something so optimistic and hopeful.

janetrad.bsky.social•100 days ago

Mesmerizing 😁

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

At 8.35 am it was at nearly 17.570 million.

Who wants to bet on what time it crosses 18 million today?

WELCOME 🦋 NEWBIES!!!! There’s lots of you so don’t feel alone.

Mostly the natives are friendly and things are done more courteously and reasonably here.

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

And the block button is a welcome knock out blow against those who aren’t. Use it quickly rather than engage with trolls of unpleasant people. State them of oxygen

These are some very good tips from @drjennings.bsky.social

Use them well and jump in and join the party

Use starter packs to help you network with people with similar aims and interests. 127 pages of starter packs in this 127 page directory.

https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all

sallyoo.bsky.social•100 days ago

More easily (though maybe less comprehensively) just type Starter Pack and add a word of your choice into the search box!
For example typing "Starter Pack MPs", or "Starter Pack Formula 1" trawls up a number of packs.

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

I don’t find that organised enough …altho’ that is what I did to start with!

sallyoo.bsky.social•100 days ago

Oh I first found the directory, but then discovering I could get to Starter Packs via the search bar was a lightbulb moment!

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Here’s one starter pack as an example for those familiar with @sturdyalex.bsky.social & the @quietriotpod.bsky.social podcast

But there are thousands of others. Legal, climate change, public policy, gaming, writers, medical research, black academics, USA politics & journalists

drownedinsound.bsky.social•100 days ago

Here’s one we made earlier https://bsky.app/profile/joshfwd.bsky.social/post/3latdcqrhus22

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

I mention the @quietriotpod.bsky.social podcast as it has two episodes with the 🦋 COO @rose.bsky.team , one very recent

Moderation is pretty good, generally but I imagine the @support.bsky.team team are under great pressure as the new numbers are rising so fast. Be patient!

tattoodlebug.bsky.social•100 days ago

Where is this magical block button? Hope I never have to use it but…..

julesmchamish.bsky.social•100 days ago

Link to Quiet Riot pod @quietriotpod.bsky.social
with Bluesky COO Rose Wang from August.

A courtesy tip about using direct messages

They can be quite intrusive unless you know someone pretty well already

So think twice before using them just because someone has followed you. It can feel as if someone has walked into your home uninvited & many of us have experienced DM stalking on 🐦

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

You’ll soon find old friends and make plenty of lovely new ones if you play nice.

Have fun 🤩 🥳 🎉 . Ask people if you get stuck. Someone normally has an answer. And the 🦋 team are adding new features regularly.

I forgot that you can now thread more easily!
Duh!

medshadow.bsky.social•90 days ago

Nice Starter! ❤️Anymore room left?

drcweissenberg.bsky.social•100 days ago

marmk.bsky.social•100 days ago

Got a feeling it will be a little earlier today.
5.15pm

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes. I was guessing something similar.

doctore.bsky.social•100 days ago

And over there, it's sort of like............😂

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Perfect

Or…

stelladebris.bsky.social•99 days ago

is there one that shows X going down?

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•99 days ago

Not on a counter like that. I wish. But there are trend graphs.

I hope an updated one soon eg from @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social

stelladebris.bsky.social•99 days ago

I was going through the people I follow on X earlier and was shocked at just how many (the vast majority) of their tweets I was no longer seeing, really shocked. probably about 90%.

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yep. People voting with their feet and keyboards

stelladebris.bsky.social•99 days ago

I think most of it was because of musk's distortion of X, constantly pushing accounts I had no interest in or actively had to block, rather than people having left or stopped using it.
