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... Zine: https://translash.org/zines/transcestors-trailblazers-30-liv... 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".) | ||
