Everything I've seen has said most of Bluesky users come from the US, Brazil, and Japan. So that's a good number of Android devices in there. Based on your numbers ok then. But I read an article about Brazil being the largest users of the Bluesky website. So it's more international than some think

There was a short-lived, massive surge in Brazilian users when the Brazilian Supreme Court blocked Twatter in the country. After the block was lifted, most Brazilian users returned to Twatter and now account for less than 5% of average Bluesky traffic: https://www.namepepper.com/bluesky-statistics

Again just going on the recent data I saw.

Yes, that's in Brazil where they account for less than ~5% of current Bluesky traffic.

Ok. This article was January 16 2025 long after the X ban. I haven't found anything more recent so I can only take it face value https://adamconnell.me/bluesky-statistics/
