My beloved #Bluesky just ticked over to 19 Million users!
There were 10M users a month ago. Numbers have been growing exponentially this year, esp since Twitter/X's ban in Brazil (September), and particularly with the mass exodus after the US #election.
I was one of the first 1% of users when I joined in May last year, and I am thrilled to see such a positive online space take off.

@AnnetteTRemain that's fair. I haven't found as much love for CS or Mastadon as I have for BS (yet)
@leighchantelle That's because quality over quantity and the quality people are here.
@AnnetteTRemain ah, I see! 😂
@leighchantelle
I love the no bots and not selling my info.
@LindaWisner exactly. I got off Twitter as soon as the EM deal went through and am so glad I did.
@leighchantelle 😬 No thanks! This place is my home, and I ain’t ever leaving! 💕
@Valkyrie_D great to hear you have found a home here!
Solid nope. No corporate social media for me thanks.
Sorry you don't see what makes CoSo different and special, but you do you.
@ceorl Bluesky is def not corporate.
I see why CS it's special, but prefer BS (at this stage, that may change)
@leighchantelle I hope it does change 💕@ceorl
Bluesky kind of literally is incorporated, built on and beholden to venture capital.
You are welcome to your preference and priorities.
Mine align much more closely to the safeguards, relationships and interactions of CoSo.
"Millions" is not a selling point to me.
@ceorl that's fair. To each their own!
@leighchantelle Thank you but not going to bluesky. I found my home here.
