Wild to realize Bluesky has more than doubled its user count in <2 months to 12.5M users.
Growth is kinda crazy, the spikes are significantly larger now and despite having 6M users 2 months ago we're still capable of this kind of massive growth in such a short time.
Glad to have you all here.

2nd spike: Artists after Twitter AI Policy
I've been on Twitter since before 2016, and I don't remember it ever having this much of a decline at such a rapid pace.
Not entirely sure which beastie (and which bits of which beastie) were fed into a blender to make it, but it wasn’t worth the effort. 2/10
Y'all adding video was the deal maker. I'm done with the rich asshole. Thanks.
It drives home how zero-sum social media (or at least microblogging is).
When the market is saturated, it's hard to get growth without disruption.
And everyone experiences the delight of their own making!
Welcome all! Thanks @BlueSky!
But honestly, it's not the first or last time. Twitter, Tumblr, Bebo, MySpace, various forums: PHPbb/VBul, IRC, message boards for some.
I think I've felt more loss online than in person at this stage in life.
Regretfully (sort of), there maybe a second softer but more accidental disrupter also in play. Good for Bluesky though.
Tho I guess I've only been here a year or whatever T____T
Honestly I guess Tumblr sorta went down the middle so maybe it might happen here too.
Internet public officer?
impossible porn obligations?
Yeah. I still feel like that, or death is eventuality.
Can you reassure us?
It seems that spikes like this are accompanied by older accounts reactivating, so those spikes would be even sharper

I would love to know what the churn rate is.
To be fair a ridiculously wealthy idiot helped.
