Sad news is that bluesky is on a decline while truth social is increasing.

I wonder what will happen to trans kids in the coming years. Trans people shape the soul of the country (since the last 3 years)

It doesn't look like truth social has grown much the last year, sits around 10% of bluesky by active user count. Would be interesting to see more detailed metrics about the amount of content and engagement.

Transgender has been a part of humanity forever, just like we see in other areas of nature. Here's some history going back 150+ years: https://translash.org/articles/drawn-to-history-10-trans-tra...

Some perspective, if you have an ARM CPU, it's thanks to Sophia Wilson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Wilson

		And if you have a CPU at all, it's thanks in part to Lynn Conway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway I expect it's worth looking into the ActivityPub Fediverse, or the applicable IndieWeb protocols (e.g. the linkback quartet: refback, trackback, pingback, and Webmention), to measure what people are saying. None of these have global feeds, though, so you have to deal with the conceptual complexity of measurement. (You have to deal with this anyway with Twitter, because of bot activity, but it's easier to deal with "this is an upper bound" than "this estimate may be too high or too low, and we'd have to investigate further in order to find out which".)

Why does Forbes post intentionally misleading charts?

The one for Bluesky goes from 9M DAU -> 3.5M DAU

The one for X goes from 149M DAU -> 128M DAU

Yet, the Y axis of both charts are wildly out of proportion to make it look like they are equivalent, which is also implied by the headline but clearly not true.

		Also, neither is zero based, making a 60% drop (bluesky) and a 15% drop (x) look comparable.
