This is pretty damn exciting and I'm glad y'all are here and justifying the time we spent investing in scaling.
Really feels special to see this 20% day over day growth in activity and the 'fresh of breath air' new users are experiencing.

Below is a graph showing the trend in the number of Bluesky users. The number of Bluesky users has been increasing steadily until now, but since November 7, 2024, the pace of increase in the number of users has been rapidly increasing.
Bluesky COO Rose Wang acknowledged that the majority of Bluesky's new users are from the United States. One of the reasons for this increase in the number of Bluesky users in the United States is said to be the close relationship between Trump, who won the US presidential election, and Elon Musk of X (formerly Twitter), and Musk, who contributed greatly to Trump's election victory, is expected to have a great influence in the Trump administration in the future.

Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat of New York University pointed out that 'after January 2025, when X will be owned by Mr. Musk, a de facto member of the Trump administration, X's function as Trump's propaganda and far-right radicalization machine may accelerate.' In addition, social media researcher Axel Brands said, 'Bluesky serves as a refuge for people who want a social media experience that is free of the far-right activism, misinformation, hate speech, bots, and other harmful entities that Twitter once offered. The more liberal community seems to have fled from X and moved en masse to Bluesky.'
Bluesky spokesperson Emily Liu told multiple foreign media outlets, 'We're excited to welcome all these new users, from Taylor Swift fans to professional wrestlers and urban planners.' Regarding Taylor Swift, Trump caused controversy by posting 'AI-generated images that make it seem like Taylor Swift and her fans support Trump' on the social networking site 'Truth Social' owned by his own media company.
