I think most of Blueskye users used to use Twitter. But many may have kept their Twitter account for a while. Besides you have to deactivate your Twitter accout and wait for 30 days, before it is deleted. Therefore I think that Twitter will loose many users in the coming weeks.

The muskrat should create more bots... Oh wait, he doesn't need X anymore, he got what he wanted.

Regretably it’s not enough, needs to be 50x that :(

Why doesn’t bluesky do verification for accounts? It would probably attract more people/institutions to move here. Ian, ask them do it.

After the inauguration there will be many more people joining Bluesky. But only If Elon and Donald manage to keep the electricity grid going. I doubt that.

These numbers seem quite conservative? I thought BS gained ~ 7 million since I joined just after the election?

numbers seem to be limited to just counting active daily users.

Some of us leave our accounts open on X, but will never post or participate there ever again. There may be many others doing so, not being accounted for.
